National Democratic Congress (NDC) activist, Dzifa Gunu has advised the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama to withdraw his 2020 election petition before the Supreme Court because he’ll not get the justice he needs.

In a post on Facebook after the court adjourned its hearing to January 26, Dzifa called on the former president to withdraw the case rather than following through to the end only to be denied justice.

According to him the worst the court can do after Mahama withdraws is to find him and the party members will contribute and pay that fine.

“Dear H.E. John Dramani MahamaThey will not give you justice, please withdraw the case, the worst they will do is fine you and we will contribute and pay”, he wrote.

Some members of the opposition NDC have petitioned the National Chairman of the Party to dismiss former deputy general secretary, Koku Anyidoho from the party for what they term as gross misconduct.

Mr Anyidoho has taken a passive position from the Party since he lost the Party’s internal electoral contest in which he contested for the position of General Secretary.

The Petition for Koku’s dismissal, signed by one Eric Adjei, cites various media publications in which Mr Anyidoho is deemed to have made comments against his Party’s interest.

One of the lawyers of President Akufo-Addo in the ongoing election petition hearing has brushed aside claims by lead counsel for the petitioners in the Election Petition, Tsatsu Tsikata that the Supreme court should not sacrifice justice for expedition.

In his response to Mr Tsikata, he noted that justice delayed is justice denied.

Tsikata, had told the Supreme Court that much as the court may want to stick to the timelines specified in C.I 99 for the adjudication of election petitions, it should not be done in disregard of justice.

However, addressing the media after proceedings, Mr Frank Davies said “What is meant by sacrificing justice on the altar of expedition? 

“Justice delayed is justice denied. So what is it?  They are just not ready. They were advocating for a live broadcast of proceedings and now everybody is seeing what is happening in court. Everyday lead counsel for the petitioners is making one complaint or the other.

“You cannot blame the failure of a bad farm on your tools of implementation. Your farm is your farm  and  it depends on how you cultivate it  so we should not ponder over this repeated rhetoric of  sacrificing justice for expedition.”
