Parliamentary candidates whose results were overturned by the Supreme Court on Friday, December 27, 2024, are not qualified to take the oath of office as members of Parliament, according to Speaker of Parliament .
The re-collated results for the Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, Tema Central, and Techiman South constituencies were declared invalid by the Supreme Court due to procedural errors.
This decision was made following a legal challenge by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against a December 20 High Court ruling that ordered the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate the results of parliamentary elections in nine contested constituencies.
The High Court's order was fiercely contested by the NDC, which claimed that the re-collation procedure was illegal and without merit.
