Justice Srem Sai, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team, has opposed the swearing-in of three New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament-elect for Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, and Techiman South constituencies.
The MPs-elect—Patrick Yaw Boamah, Charles Forson, and Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah—were declared winners after a High Court-ordered re-collation by the Electoral Commission (EC).
Speaking on Citi FM, Srem Sai argued that the re-collation process breached legal procedures, as the NDC had filed for a stay of execution against the High Court's directive.
He emphasized that proceeding with the swearing-in would violate the ongoing judicial review and undermine constitutional order.
The NDC insists the MPs should not assume office until disputes surrounding their elections are resolved.
