The Supreme Court is set to hear a case brought by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) today, Thursday, 23 January, challenging a High Court ruling that directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to finalise and declare parliamentary results in four constituencies.
The High Court, presided over by Justice Forson Baah Agyapong, on Saturday, 4 January, granted a mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The ruling instructed the EC to complete the collation of results for Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Techiman South, and Ablekuma North 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, has petitioned the Supreme Court, seeking to overturn the High Court’s decision.
They contend that the ruling should be quashed, raising questions about its implications for the electoral process.
The apex court's decision on this matter is expected to have significant political and legal ramifications.
