The Supreme Court is hearing a motion from lawyers of former President John Dramani Mahama in the ongoing election petition trial in their attempt to reopen their case.
The application was premised on the apex court panel of seven chaired by Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah’s ruling that it cannot compel the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs. Jean Mensa to testify before the court in the case.
Following the closure of the Petitioner’s case last Monday, after calling three witnesses, lawyers of the EC and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said they did not intend to call any witnesses despite deposing to witness statements.
The petitioner and his lawyers are challenging the move but the EC and President Akufo-Addo have separately filed affidavits opposing the Petitioner’s motion.
