The Supreme Court will hear an application for judicial review filed by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) today, Friday, December 27. The case challenges a High Court ruling from December 20, which directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate parliamentary election results in nine disputed constituencies.
The ruling followed a mandamus application by New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidates in the affected areas.
The High Court had ordered the EC to verify and re-collate results in the contested constituencies.
While the EC has completed the re-collation process in seven constituencies, results for Dome/Kwabenya and Ablekuma North are still pending.
The NDC has strongly opposed both the High Court ruling and the EC’s subsequent actions, describing the recollation process as illegal and baseless. The party argues that the High Court overstepped its jurisdiction and that its directive undermines transparency, procedural fairness, and the integrity of the electoral process.
This case has garnered widespread attention, as the Supreme Court’s decision is expected to significantly influence the handling of electoral disputes in Ghana.
