An Accra High Court has fixed today , January 1, 2025, to rule on a preliminary objection raised against the writ of mandamus filed against the Electoral Commission in its bid to collate Parliamentary elections in four disputed Constituencies.

This was after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had raised a preliminary objection on the writ of mandamus filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) against the EC to collate Parliamentary results in four Constituencies.

The NDC, through its Counsel Mr Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, argued that the mandamus application was an election petition in disguise and same was incompetent. "I raise a preliminary objection for the incompetence of this application pursuant to Section 16 and 20 of the PNDC Law 284 as amended.

This is an election petition disguised as a mandamus application." Mr Tameklo told the trial Judge, Justice Foson Baah Agyapong.
