The Supreme Court has adjourned to March 2 2016, the petition brought before it by the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) challenging the appointment of two judges to the nation’s apex court, and two others, also challenging the appointment of a chair for the Electoral Commission.
The case has been adjourned to allow all the parties to file a joint memorandum for the court to make a determination on the cases.

Mr. Sky is hopeful that a positive outcome of the case will define a clear path that President John Mahama, and all future Presidents, must navigate in making appointments to the Electoral Commission.
Mr. Danso Acheampong, has also filed a suit seeking interpretation on some appointments to the EC.
