Voters’ Register: Supreme Court Adjourns Case To June 23

The Supreme Court has adjourned the highly anticipated case between the Electoral Commission and the National Democratic Congress to June 23 for judgement.

There was heavy police presence at the Supreme Court on Thursday morning as Ghanaians waited in expectancy to hear the outcome of judgement.

The NDC is challenging the EC over the compilation of the new voters’ register which they believe would disenfranchise many Ghanaians.

The opposition NDC argues that a new voter’s register will deprive many Ghanaians the right to vote in the polls, a claim the EC disagrees with.

The party has argued in its suit that the EC lacks the power to go ahead with its plans because it can only “compile a register of voters only once, and thereafter revise it periodically, as may be determined by law”.

A judgement is expected in the coming days.
