Tsatsu Tsikata, lead counsel for John Dramani Mahama in the 2020 Presidential Election Petition, has insisted without mincing words that the Supreme Court’s verdict was full of errors.
Speaking on TV3, Mr Tsikata noted that unlike the 2012 petition where each judge gave reasons for the positions they took on the main points of the case, that was not the case in the 2020 Presidential Election Petition.
“I come to a clear determination that there were errors made in the decisions and I make no bones about saying so and respectfully explaining why I say so in the manner I think I have illustrated in this discussion, not out of disrespect for the judges or trying to make fun of them, no. It is out of the importance of their role and the importance of their fidelity to the Constitution and to the law”.
“Each of the judges had a chance to articulate the reasons and to explain their point of view from a legal authority standpoint. In this last petition, I think as we all saw virtually in all the decisions, the Chief Justice will write an opinion and everybody was on board”, he said.
