NDC urges Kumasi High Court to rule on merits in Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West election petitions

NDC urges Kumasi High Court to rule on merits in Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West election petitions
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Evans Amankwa, legal counsel for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the ongoing legal processes surrounding the parliamentary election petitions in Obuasi East and Ahafo Ano South constituencies.

 The NDC is contesting the declared results in both constituencies, alleging that their victories were unjustly handed to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) due to the actions of the Electoral Commission.

Speaking after the court sitting on Friday, April 4, 2025, Lawyer Amankwa accused the NPP of employing delay tactics to obstruct the adjudication of the petitions.

 He emphasized that some respondents had raised objections to the substituted service of court documents, resulting in a series of legal maneuvers aimed at stalling the case.

“The NPP and their lawyers initially raised objections, claiming they were not properly served. But once the court ordered substituted service, they filed new motions attempting to quash the process again,” Amankwa stated.

“It’s unfortunate that rather than facing the substance of the petition, they are focused on procedural technicalities.”

He revealed that despite some respondents acknowledging receipt of court documents, others still opposed the petition on what he described as “flimsy grounds.

” The NDC lawyer noted that the party had complied with all court directives, including the payment of court-ordered deposits, yet the case has been met with resistance from the opposing side.

Amankwa warned against what he termed “military-style threats” and attempts to politicize the legal process, asserting that the petitions should be judged purely on their merit.

He also urged the court to expedite the hearing, stating that the people of Obuasi East and Ahafo Ano South deserve to know the true outcome of the 2024 parliamentary elections.

“We are not bringing this case to waste anyone’s time,” he said. “We believe the people’s mandate was stolen, and we want the courts to look at the evidence and decide fairly.”

He further hinted at political undertones in Parliament regarding the petitions, alleging that certain elements within the legislative body are working to shield the current beneficiaries of what he described as “an unfair electoral process.”
