2020 election petition hearing continues today

The 2020 election petition case on the floor of  the Supreme Court of Ghana is expected to continue today, Tuesday, January 19, 2021.

It is expected to conduct a pre-trial conference for the parties involved.

The pre-trial conference is to assist the court and parties organize the proceedings in a manner that will be convenient and expeditious and also set down the issues for the trial.

Parties at this stage may also agree or disagree on the issues for the trial and are expected to make available to each other all documents and evidence they hope to rely on in the trial.

Meanwhile former President John Mahama has filed a motion at the Supreme Court asking the Electoral Commission to accept that it made mistakes during the declaration of results.

The motion is to avoid the petitioner from leading evidence to that effect.
