The Supreme Court today heard oral arguments from lawyers for the Electoral Commission and President Akufo-Addo on their decision not to call up witnesses.
This follows an earlier submission of a witness statement by the 1st and 2nd Respondents in the election petition hearing and their announcement to withdraw same.
The two counsels, had told the apex court that, they would want to close their case as the petitioner has not presented enough evidence to back his pleadings thus there will be no need for their witness to prove otherwise.
But raising an objection, counsel for the petitioner alleged that it was a ploy by the Chairperson of the EC to avoid cross-examination.
Today, the apex court was unable to make a determination after the counsels made legal submissions on the matter.
