The Supreme Court has decided to postpone indefinitely the hearing of an application from the NDC aimed at overturning a High Court ruling that instructed the Electoral Commission to finalize the collation of results in Tema Central, Okaikoi Central, Ablekuma North, and Techiman South.
While the Electoral Commission has completed the collation in three of these constituencies and declared the NPP candidates as winners, the NDC is urging the Supreme Court to utilize its supervisory authority to nullify the High Court’s decision.
During the proceedings on Thursday, it was revealed that the NPP candidates had not been properly notified of the case. Consequently, the Supreme Court opted to adjourn the matter sine die.
The NDC’s attempt to appeal the court’s directive for the EC to finish the collation process has hit a snag due to the failure to serve the NPP candidates involved.
This procedural hurdle has stalled the court’s ability to proceed with the application.
The ongoing dispute centers around the unresolved electoral outcomes in these constituencies, with both parties locked in a legal struggle over the validity of the counts and the Electoral Commission’s final announcements.
