NDC Seeks Stay of Execution on High Court Mandamus Orders - The Ghanaian Chronicle

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is seeking a stay of execution on a High Court's mandamus orders that require the Electoral Commission (EC) to allow its parliamentary candidates to file their nominations. The party argues that the court's decision, which mandates the EC to accept nominations from candidates who were initially disqualified, could disrupt the electoral process and create confusion.

In its application, the NDC contends that granting a stay is essential to maintain order and ensure that all parties adhere to established electoral timelines. The party emphasizes that allowing disqualified candidates to participate could undermine the integrity of the upcoming elections and lead to potential legal challenges.

The NDC's move comes amid ongoing tensions between political parties and the EC regarding candidate eligibility. As Ghana approaches its elections, ensuring a fair and transparent process remains crucial for all stakeholders involved. The outcome of this legal battle will significantly impact both the NDC and other political entities as they prepare for the electoral contest ahead.
