Supreme Court ruling driven by concern over leaders governing all Ghanaians — Asiedu Nketia

According to him, those who challenged the delegate system in court were motivated by the view that presidential and parliamentary candidates elected through a limited group of delegates go on to occupy public offices that serve the entire nation.

National Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, says he believes the Supreme Court's decision declaring the delegate system unconstitutional was driven by concerns that leaders elected through the process ultimately govern the entire country, not just their political parties." Mr Asiedu Nketia's comments come after the Supreme Court, in a 5–2 majority decision, ruled that restricting the selection of parliamentary and presidential candidates to delegates violates the Constitution and directed political parties to adopt a more inclusive electoral system within a year.
