Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama is asking the Supreme Court to put all proceedings relating to the Election Petition on hold.
According to myjoyonline reports, John Mahama’s lawyers have on Thursday morning filed another application asking that the court halts all proceedings relating to the case till it determines their review application.
Lead Counsel for the petitioner, Tsatsu Tsikata informed the court they had filed an application urging the court to review its early decision that turned down a request to subject the EC Chairperson to 12 questions.
The lawyers argue a serious miscarriage of justice will be occasioned if the court proceeds without a determination of the review application. This they explain will result in irreparable harm that cannot be remedied.
The lawyers in the document also remind the court that their request to the Electoral Commission that it admits certain facts has not been complied with. This they explain is needed to finalize the witness statements.
Sources within the legal team tell Joy News they have thus not filed the witness statements as directed by the court.
