The New Patriotic Party (NPP), the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and the Electoral Commission (EC) are scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, December 31, to address issues related to the collation of results in disputed constituencies, including Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Tema Central.

This follows a Supreme Court decision that overturned a High Court ruling which had granted an NPP application compelling the EC to conduct re-collations in constituencies initially declared in favour of the NDC.

Subsequently, the EC declared NPP candidates as winners in seven constituencies.

Dissatisfied with the re-collations, the NDC petitioned the Supreme Court, arguing that their candidates’ rights to natural justice were violated since they were not given a hearing at the High Court.

The party also alleged bias on the part of the presiding judge.

In its ruling, the Supreme Court concurred that the NDC candidates’ rights to natural justice had been breached and overturned the High Court’s decision.

However, the court found no evidence of bias against the judge. It directed that the case be reassigned to a different judge.

The High Court will now determine the outcomes of the disputed constituencies—Techiman South, Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Tema Central—during its Tuesday session.
