The High Court has reviewed nine video recordings submitted as evidence in a mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) concerning four disputed constituencies.
The hearing, presided over by Justice Forson Baah Agyapong, focuses on the NPP’s request for the Electoral Commission (EC) to collate parliamentary results for the disputed constituencies.
The videos were presented to substantiate the NPP’s claims of alleged irregularities in voter data compilation and electoral proceedings.
The videos depict a crowd, suspected to be National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters, chanting revolutionary songs, Malik Basintale, Deputy Communication officer of the NDC, addressing supporters, and the NDC Parliamentary Candidate, Ebi Bright, being declared the winner.
Counsel for the applicants, Gary Nimako, argued that the EC has a constitutional obligation to fulfill its duty of collating and declaring election results.
The disputed constituencies—Tema Central, Ablekuma North, Okaikoi Central, and Techiman South—have been at the center of political tension due to allegations of incomplete processes marred by chaos.
The NPP contends that the EC, if compelled through an order of mandamus, should collate and declare the results.
