The High Court is scheduled to announce its conclusive ruling regarding the mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) against the Electoral Commission (EC) on Wednesday, January 1.
Justice Forson Agyapong, who is presiding over the case, is anticipated to provide the final judgment.
The recent parliamentary elections in four constituencies, which have been contested, have prompted a legal challenge from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), December 31, challenged the jurisdiction of the High Court to hear the mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to the Head of Legal Affairs of the NDC, Godwin Tameklo the application was an attempt at challenging the validity of the election results without using the right approach.
He stated that per sections 16 and 20 of the Representation of People Law, PNDCL 284 as amended, it is only by a petition that the results of an election can be challenged.
He contended that any attempt to do so through any prerogative writ such as a mandamus is a way of circumventing a proper hearing to be done by evidence.
