A heavy police security has been deployed at the Supreme Court in Accra ahead of a crucial hearing today, Friday, December 27, 2024 of an election dispute case.<\/p>\n
The court is set to hear a judicial review application filed by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), challenging a High Court ruling that directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to collate parliamentary election results in nine contested constituencies.<\/p>\n
The controversy began on December 20, when the High Court ruled in favour of a mandamus application filed by New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidates, ordering the EC to collate results in the disputed constituencies.<\/p>\n
The NDC has vehemently opposed the ruling, describing it as unlawful and accusing the High Court of overstepping its jurisdiction and compromising electoral integrity.<\/p>\n
While the EC has completed the recollation process in seven of the nine constituencies, results for Dome\/Kwabenya and Ablekuma North remain pending.<\/p>\n
The NDC\u2019s application to the Supreme Court seeks to nullify the High Court\u2019s order and halt the recollation process.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court\u2019s decision is expected to have far-reaching implications for the management of electoral disputes in the country.<\/p>\n
The court\u2019s ruling will either uphold the High Court\u2019s order or overturn it, potentially altering the outcome of the parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
However, ahead of the application hearing, dozens of police personnel have been deployed to the Supreme Court complex to provide security and prevent any potential confrontations.<\/p>\n
