A five-member panel of the Supreme Court have annulled re-collated parliamentary election results for Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, Tema Central, and Techiman South.
The panel chaired by Justice Gabriel Pwamang overturned the Electoral Commission’s (EC) re-collation and subsequent declarations for the above-mentioned constituencies, which had been the subject of intense legal and political disputes.
“Since the orders which have been brought to be quashed are separate and distinct we have decided to exercise our discretionary power to quash by certiorari having required to the peculiar circumstances of each ruling.
However, the court’s ruling does not affect the re-collated results for Nsawam Adoagyiri and Ahafo Ano East, which remain valid and upheld.
The Supreme Court’s decision underscores the judiciary’s critical role in addressing electoral irregularities and ensuring adherence to constitutional and procedural requirements.
