Election Petition: Admit That You’ve Been Outsmarted – Gabby To Tsikata
Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has charged lead counsel for the petitioner, lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata to admit that he’s been outsmarted by Counsels for the 1st and 2nd Respondents.
According to him it’s only an option for a party to call on a witness to testify and be cross-examined before a court of competent jurisdiction if that party finds it necessary or vice versa.
“You do not allege and expect the respondents to make your case for you if they opt not to mount the witness box. Calling of witnesses is an option which a party can choose not to exercise if indeed that party sees it as not necessary.”
“Tsatsu should simply admit that he’s been outsmarted! It’s left with populist submissions for the ears of party activists,” Gabby wrote.
