Supreme Court dismisses Mahama’s review application

The Supreme Court has in a unanimous decision dismissed an application filed by the petitioner, John Dramani Mahama, seeking a review of an earlier ruling affirming the right of the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa not to testify in the ongoing case.

Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah who read the ruling on behalf of the justices said the bench was not convinced by the arguments advanced by the petitioner’s legal counsel to warrant a contrary decision.

“The applicant has failed to satisfy the court that a new or important matter resulted from the reference to the constitutional provisions referred to [in the earlier ruling]. In the result, the application fails, and it is hereby dismissed,” he said in the ruling on Thursday February 18.
