The Supreme Court’s seven member panel presided over by Justice Sophia Adinyira, will deliver its verdict on the suit filed by Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC) challenging a high court judgement, which overturned its disqualification of the Flagbearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum on November 7, 2016.

The EC is asking the Supreme Court to review the High Court’s judgement that quashed its disqualification of the PPP’s presidential aspirant.

Background

[contextly_sidebar id=”tsdHDtA7sSzDXCWbCjieEkTNtaId6SA2″]The EC rejected Dr. Nduom’s nomination claiming the number of subscribers to his forms did not meet the requirements of Regulation 7 (2) (b) of CI 94, [the law regulating the conduct of the 2016 elections].

The Commission said one of his subscribers endorsed the form with different signatures in both portions of the nomination form, raising questions as to the legitimacy of one or both signatures.

But lawyers of the PPP argued that, the EC did not give them the opportunity to correct the errors on the nomination forms.

EC loses against Hassan Ayariga

Meanwhile an Accra High Court has ordered the EC to give the Flagbearer of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, an opportunity to correct errors on his nomination form.

The court presided over by Justice Babara Charway said the EC acted unfairly in disqualifying Mr. Ayariga. The judge also indicated that, the commission should have been more patient in dealing with the matter.
