The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is set to file an appeal at the Court of Appeal after losing legal battles over four disputed constituencies to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the High Court in Accra.
The constituencies in question are Tema Central, Ablekuma North, Okaiwei Central, and Techiman South.
The High Court, presided over by Justice Forson Baah Agyapong, ruled in favor of the NPP, allowing the Electoral Commission (EC) to proceed with collation and declaration of results in these constituencies.
 However, the NDC, dissatisfied with the judgment, plans to file an application for certiorari to halt the EC from carrying out the High Court’s orders.
Godwin Kudzo Edudzi, counsel for the NDC candidates—Ebi Bright (Tema Central), Baba Sadiq (Okaiwei Central), Ewurabena Augunn ( Ablekuma North), and Dr. Christopher Beyere Baasongti (Techiman South)—is preparing to challenge the decisions at the appellate court.
Background
The disputes arose over the collation of results in the four constituencies, with the NPP raising concerns about alleged threats and incomplete collation.
The High Court’s ruling effectively dismissed the NDC’s claims, allowing the EC to proceed with finalizing the results.
The NDC views this decision as a setback, particularly as the party prepares to form the next government following its victory in the 2024 general election.
