Supreme Court Showed Kindness To Mahama By Bending Its Own Rules To Allow Him Amend His Petition – Kabila Advises NDC Against Accusations Towards The Court

Former General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh, also known as Kabila has cautioned members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to make a mistake of accusing the Supreme of bending its rules.

According to him, the court bent its own rules in favour of NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama to make room for him to amend his petition challenging the legitimacy of President Akufo-Addo’s victory in the 2020 Presidential elections; therefore, members of the NDC authority to accuse the court of rules bending.

He stated that, according to Constitutional Instrument (CI) 99, a Presidential petition should not be amended ”but this a political matter”, a reason why the court consented to the amendment.

According to Kabila, the decision was a kind gesture by the court to Mr. Mahama, hence issuing a strong warning to his party’s members not to make a u-turn and accuse the Judiciary wrongly because they went against their own rules.

”I hope the NDC people who have been accusing the Judiciary all the time will not accuse the Judiciary of allowing them to bend their own rules to entertain an amendment from the NDC or, in fact the NDC is not a party to this case, so the candidate of the NDC in the 2020 Presidential elections who is the petitioner in this matter. I don’t think they will accuse the Judiciary that they have been unfair about bending their own rules”, he was quoted by peacefmonline.
