Delegates System: Gbande warns court ruling could create huge financial and logistical burden

” Mr Gbande stressed that the latest decision differs because it is now a directive from the country’s highest court, adding that the NDC will study the full judgment before taking an official position.” The Supreme Court, in a 5-2 majority decision, ruled that the long-standing delegate system used by political parties to elect presidential and parliamentary candidates violates democratic principles.

It’s not easy to mobilise the number of people we are talking about, even to a voting centre, even if we are going to do it like that, or we are going to do it on an electoral area basis, or we are going to do it this district or constituency basis, it comes with its own challenges.
