ELECTION PETITION: JOHN MAHAMA FILES ANOTHER APPLICATION AGAINST 2020 ELECTIONS

-


Petitioner in the ongoing election petition hearing, John Mahama, has filed an application seeking to re-open his case on Tuesday, February 11, 2021.

Counsel for the petitioner had closed his case, expecting that respondents will call a witness based on a witness statement they had filed at the commencement of the hearing.

The Respondents’ petition was objected to by petitioner’s counsel who argued that once the respondent had filed a statement, she had elected to be a witness in the case but the Supreme Court in it's ruling has dismissed the motion, ruling that the EC chairperson, Jean Mensah cannot be compelled to mount the witness box.

Meanwhile, the lead Counsel for the Petitioner, Mr Tsatsu Tsikata, has filed a subpoena to compel Madam Mensa to mount the witness box.

The SC then called for written arguments from the lawyers of both sides which were filed subsequently.


The motion will be heard on Monday, January 15, 2021, and if granted, Madam Mensa will be expected to testify before the court.
