The Supreme Court has dismissed an application by the petitioner, former President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to reopen their case.
The petitioner’s application was seeking leave (permission) of the court to reopen their case and enable their lawyers to subpoena Mrs Mensa to appear before the court and testify as a “hostile witness”.
The lead counsel for the petitioner, Mr Tsatsu Tsikata, on Monday 15th February 2021 yesterday urged the court to grant his client the permission to reopen his case in the interest of “substantial.
Mr Tsatsu Tsikata’s plea was, however, opposed by lawyers for the respondents (the EC and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo), who argued that the application was an attempt by the petitioner to force the EC Chairperson to enter the witness box by all possible means, even after the court had upheld her decision not to testify.
