The Supreme Court has dismissed a suit filed by the flagbearer of the dormant Democratic People’s Party (DPP), Thomas Nuako Ward-Brew, who had prayed the apex court to order the Electoral Commission (EC) to postpone the December 7, 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
According to the seven-member panel of justices, presided over by Sophia Adinyira, the suit by Mr. Brew lacked merit in both form and substance.<\/p>\n
They also stated that, his reason of being in Nigeria during the period which EC was directed to allow disqualified presidential candidates make corrections to their form was frivilous.<\/p>\n
