2024 Elections re-collation: Supreme Court to hear NDC’s application December 27

Supreme Court of Ghana Supreme Court of Ghana

The Supreme Court will on Friday, December 27, hear the National Democratic Congress (NDC) application challenging a High Court order directing the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate parliamentary results in six constituencies.

The affected constituencies include Tema Central, Nsawam-Adoagyir, Ablekuma North, Ahafo Ano North, Techiman South, and Okaikwei Central.

The High Court ruling, delivered on December 20, also instructed the Inspector-General of Police to ensure security at the collation centres.

The NDC argues that the High Court breached natural justice by not giving its candidates a hearing before granting the orders. They are seeking a certiorari to overturn the decision.

The EC has already re-collated results for seven constituencies, with the NPP winning all declared seats so far. Two more constituencies remain pending.
