The High Court in Accra has dismissed an attempt by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to delay the release of over 10,000 withheld WASSCE results, upholding its previous order that the examination body must make the results public.
Delivering the ruling, Justice Ali Baba Abature rejected WAEC's application for a Stay of Execution, stating that the council had failed to provide sufficient justification for withholding the results.
The court further imposed a GH¢5,000 cost against WAEC.
The legal battle began when the High Court granted an application for mandamus on January 30, 2025, compelling WAEC to release the 2024 WASSCE results of affected candidates.
