The Information Minister-designate and one of the spokespersons for the second respondent in the ongoing 2020 Election Petition hearing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah,says there is a major difference on why Dr Kwadwo Afari Gyan went into the witness box in 2013 and what the current petitioner is seeking to achieve.
The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that contrary to the relief being sought by the petitioner, Mr John Mahama, they cannot allow the latter to re-open his case with the sole aim of subpoenaing the chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs Jean Mensa, to testify in the ongoing case.
According to the apex court, they find no merit in the application and, therefore, dismissed it.
Mr. Oppong Nkrumah, who was speaking to the media after the decision of the court had been announced stressed that there is a major difference between the 2013 election petition and the current one.
“The brilliance of the then running mate,Alhaji Dr Mahamadu Bawumia in demonstrating 11,000 pink sheets and the problems with it compelled Dr. Afari Gyan that if he did not get into the witness box, the job that he had done was going to be set aside,” he said.
