A member of the National Democratic Congress' legal team, Victor Kojoga Adawudu says the country has lost a great opportunity to review and adopt some major reforms of its electoral processes.

Mr Kojoga Adawudu who spoke with JoyNews' Gifty Andoh on "The Pulse" explained that the Supreme Court's decision to dismiss the election petition filed by Former President John Dramani Mahama will take a huge toll on Ghana's electoral future.

"Ghanaians have lost some reforms that would have been made if all the parties were able to, say, or the Electoral Commissioner, the Chairperson would have told Ghanaians the process by which she was able to go through to come out with the C.I 135.

"We are saying that there were errors. If the Supreme Court says we are not able to prove, that will mean that we are not going to have any reforms from the Electoral Commission."

Elaborating further, he indicated that this will affect the attitude of party agents in future elections towards administrative officers of the EC and may decide not to take any instructions from them. All these, he says, are among many matters that could have been addressed by the apex court.

"When I go to the collation centre or polling station where the results are being declared, I won't take any instructions from any administrative person or official who is erring. That would mean that if he or she would not also listen and do the right thing, we will have to settle it there.

"We will settle it there. We won't go anywhere again because it is my duty to make sure that I am there and I will have to perform my duties. So any erring an administrative officer like happened in Techiman, nobody is going to take it and say we are going to respect the rules of the law and say that we will take it to administration for it to be resolved or take it to the court.

"That is one of the things that we should have spoken about and have reforms," he stated.

According to him, what the petitioner, John Mahama presented to the court through his three witnesses; Asiedu Nketia, Kpessa Whyte and Rojo Mettle-Nunoo was there were errors made by the First respondent, the Electoral Commission in the 2020 general elections.

"When people were saying that we have no case, there is no cause of action, I think it was made clearly. You can challenge the validity of the election," he added.

Victor Kojoga Adawudu told JoyNews he was not surprised by the verdict from the seven-member panel of judges at the Supreme Court.

The Justices of the Supreme Court today dismissed the election petition case presented before it challenging the 2020 Presidential verdict declared on December 9, because it lacked merit.
