The Supreme Court has directed that the mandamus application related to disputed parliamentary results be heard by a different judge at the High Court.
The ruling follows a determination that the original trial judge violated the right to a hearing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidates during their application.
The court’s decision also quashed the re-collation results for Tema Central, Ablekuma North, Techiman South, and Okaikwei Central constituencies in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
However, it upheld the validity of the results for Ahafo Ano North and Nsawam Adoagyiri, leaving them unaffected by the order.
This ruling directly challenges the controversial re-collation conducted by the Electoral Commission (EC) and the subsequent declarations made for the affected constituencies.
While nullifying the re-collation results, the Supreme Court emphasized that the mandamus application remains active and must be reheard at the High Court on Tuesday, December 31, under the guidance of a new judge.
