Mahama loses second review application in election petition
The Supreme Court has for the second time dismissed a review application by Former President John Mahama which was seeking to have the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensa, testify in the 2020 presidential election petition.
The review application filed by Mr. Mahama (petitioner) was urging the court to change its earlier ruling on February 16, this year, not to allow him to reopen his case to enable his lawyers to subpoena the Chairperson of the EC, to testify in court.
The court earlier described Mahama’s application for review of the court’s decision refusing him to reopen his case as “wholly and without merit”.
Chief Justice Anin Yeboah in reading the ruling said, “The application under review was dismissed because it was not under any known law or rules of practice. We dismissed the instant application has been wholly without merit.”
The justices of the apex court also disagreed with arguments by Mr. Tsikata that the earlier ruling was a miscarriage of justice.
