The Supreme Court of Ghana has set March 4, 2021, as the Judgment Day for the 2020 Election Petition documented by John Dramani Mahama, the NDC official contender for the December 7, 2020, political decision.
"The appeal is deferred to March 4, 2021, for judgment," Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah said.
John Dramani Mahama recorded the request to challenge the December 9 affirmation of the December 7 political race results by Jean Mensa, the Electoral Commission Chairperson, for the NPP competitor Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Following a few days of neglecting to persuade the court to have his case resumed, John Mahama, through his lawful group was given authorization by the Supreme Court to record his end address on Tuesday, despite the fact that the two Respondents have documented theirs as of now.
"We are of the assessment that the solicitor ought to be allowed leave to document his end address at the very latest Tuesday, February 23, 2021," the Chief Justice said, "in light of a legitimate concern for equity".
The five issues set out for preliminary
