Why Are You In Court If You Don’t Speak For Mahama? – Asiedu Nketia Quizzed

Frank Davies, one of the president’s legal representatives in the ongoing election petition has wondered why General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia showed up to witness in court but claimed he doesn’t speak for the petitioner (John Dramani Mahama).

During cross-examination by Mr Akoto Ampaw who is the lead counsel for the 2nd Respondent, Mr Asiedu Nketia responded to one of the questions saying “You are asking me questions that ought to be asked the petitioner.”

However, addressing the media after proceedings on Friday, January 29, Mr Davies said “how can you come to court as a witness for a party and when you are asked questions you say ‘I don’t speak for the petitioner’? Then why are you in court?”

Meanwhile the Supreme Court has adjourned hearing of the election petition to Monday, February 1 after hearing on Friday, January 29.
