A law Lecturer, Mr. Kissi Adjabeng, has said a plea by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) to the parties involved in the soon-to-be-determined election petition not to seek review of the Supreme Court's decision may be ignored.He said adhering to the plea would not promote peace because such an action may rather impede reconciliation.Speaking on the Super Morning Show on Joy FM on Wednesday, Mr. Adjabeng noted that "it may also be that if this matter is pursued to its final conclusion, that may rather promote peace than if it is truncated somewhere".He was not optimistic about the possibility of the IEA plea falling on "good soil" because, according to him the appeal amounts to suggesting that parties should sacrifice their rights for peace - something he does not foresee happening in the current election petition.A Research Fellow at the IEA, Dr Ransford Gyampo had stated that although the parties have a right to seek a review of the verdict due for August 29, letting go will hasten a process to unite the country which has been deeply polarised since the December 2012 polls.But Lawyer Kissi Adjabeng disagreed. He said so far as the law allows for a review, there should not be any attempts to stop it.However, the IEA has said it will still go ahead and dialogue with the parties involved in the 2012 election petition: Nana Akufo-Addo, Mahamadou Bawumia and Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, who are the Petitioners, and John Mahama, Electoral Commission and the National Democratic Congress, the Respondents.
