The Supreme Court has adjourned indefinitely, the case brought by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) challenging a High Court ruling that directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to finalise and declare parliamentary results in four constituencies - Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, Techiman South, and Ablekuma North.
The NDC filed a case at the Supreme Court seeking to overturn the decision of the High Court, presided over by Justice Forson Baah Agyapong, on Saturday, 4th January, which granted a mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party.
The ruling instructed the EC to complete the collation of results for the four constituencies and announce the winners. In compliance with the ruling, the EC has since re-collated the results for three of the constituencies—Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, and Techiman South—leaving Ablekuma North outstanding.
The NDC, however, went ahead to file another case praying the Supreme Court to overturn the High Court’s decision.
When the case was called in court today, it emerged that the NDC has failed to serve the NPP candidates who are parties to the case.
The Apex court has therefore adjourned the case Sine die (indefinitely) to allow for the parties to be served.
