The spokesperson for the second respondent in the ongoing 2020 election petition hearing, has stated that there is a major difference between former EC boss mounting the witness stand and the demand by the petition this time around.
Addressing journalists in Accra after Tuesday's hearing at the Supreme Court, explained how Dr Kwadwo Afari Gyan appeared in the witness box in 2013 and what John Mahama, the 2020 petitioner is seeking to achieve.
The Court has dismissed an application filed by former President Mahama to have his case re-open.
According to the apex court, they find no merit in the application and proceed with the ongoing case without any hesitation.
The court’s decision has further worsened attempts by the Petitioners to have 1st respondent witness Jean Mensa to give evidence.
Mr. Oppong Nkrumah stressed that there is a major difference between the 2013 election petition and the current one.
“The brilliance of the then running mate 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.
Hearing has been adjourned to Wednesday, February 17.
