The Supreme Court of Ghana is today, Friday, December 27, 2024, hearing an application by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) challenging the recent declaration and redeclaration of the parliamentary election results of 9 constituencies that were in dispute.
The Electoral Commission, on Friday, December 20, 2024, went ahead with the recount and continued collation of the parliamentary election results of 9 constituencies for the just-ended 2024 general election despite opposition by the NDC.
Before the re-collation and re-declaration exercise, the NDC claimed it had acquired a court order that barred the EC from going on with the declaration which had been properly served on the commission.
The party has held the position that the electoral laws of the country state that once election results are declared, the only way they can be challenged is in the courts.
