High Court Orders EC To Produce Original Documents On Techiman South Parliamentary Results In Three Days

The Electoral Commission (EC) has been ordered by the Wenchi High court to produce only original copies of documents on the Techiman South 2020 Parliamentary results within three days.

This comes after the Techiman South Parliamentary candidate for the NDC, Christopher Bayere Baasongti prayed the court, presided by Justice A.W.K Nawurah, to overturn the declaration of Mr Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, the New Patriotic Party candidate as the winner of the contest.

According to a report by GNA, the court gave the EC three days to properly file the documents and further awarded GHC2,000 cost in favour of Mr Baasongti, the Petitioner, for the failure of the electoral management body to properly produce the documents as earlier directed.

It also ordered Mr Kwabena Dwamena Frempah, the Techiman South EC’s Returning Officer, to answer the interrogatories filed by the petitioner.

Meanwhile the case has been adjourned till Monday, April 19, 2021.
