NDC welcomes Supreme Court ruling on political party delegate system, says it is ready to comply

The Supreme Court's ruling is expected to significantly alter the internal electoral processes of political parties by requiring them to adopt systems that allow broader participation by their members, replacing the long-standing delegate system used to elect parliamentary and presidential candidates.

The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has welcomed the Supreme Court's ruling declaring Ghana's political party delegate system unconstitutional, describing the decision as fair and one the party is well-prepared to implement.

Mr Tanko further disclosed that the party had, even before the court's ruling, begun strengthening its membership database in anticipation of a future shift towards universal participation in internal elections.
