The EC\u2019s subsequent call for recollation in these constituencies has generated considerable public debate and tension.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on\u00a0GHOne TV\u00a0with Lily Mohammed on Tuesday, December 17th, 2024, Jantuah advocated for legal recourse. He suggested that the appropriate channel for resolving these disputes is through the courts.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jantuah cited the 2012 and 2020 presidential election petitions as precedents for resolving electoral disputes through the judicial system. He advised political parties to follow this democratic process to settle the ongoing parliamentary result controversies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisputed parliamentary results should be taken to court. The 2012 and 2020 presidential results were taken to court when there was disagreement. If the results were declared under duress, it should be taken to court to settle it,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the latest video on TrendingGH below:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"GiE85XXzjCY\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Some Ghanaians express readiness to elect new leaders on December 7\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GiE85XXzjCY?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"ryCgk4zur0A\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I don\u2019t know why we hold on so much to power - Ewurabena  speaks after being declared MP-elect\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ryCgk4zur0A?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legal practitioner and CPP leading member, Kwame Jantuah Legal practitioner and CPP leading member, Kwame Jantuah has criticized the handling of disputed parliamentary results following the December 7th election.
