A leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Stephen Atubiga, has called on the supreme court of Ghana and other stakeholders who matter and can bring lasting solution to the brouhaha surrounding the outcome of the 2020 general election to voluntarily intervene.
According to him, the influential stakeholders including the judicial can show interest in the election dispute, by inviting both NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), together with the Electoral Commission (EC) to resolve the controversy.
Mr. Atubiga made this called in an interview with A1 Radio.
“The judicial system also has a responsible, I don’t even need to go to supreme court or the high court before they can act when there’s an issue that is dangerous to this country. They have the right to invite both political parties and have discussing about the issues.”
So I am hoping that the supreme court judges will voluntarily invite both political parties including their own authority and look into the matter and take a decision. I expect Council of Elders, chiefs and people who are stakeholders in this country to take up the matter”
Mr. Atubiga also insisted that the series of demonstrations by the NDC all over the country which according to the party, is meant to draw the attention of the EC to their concerns over the outcome of the just ended election is a constitutional right that can be used to bring about justice.
Meanwhile, the NDC has reportedly stated it will on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, file its election petition in court.
NPP on the other has also indicated its preparedness to face the opposition party in court with all its legitimate evidence to counter any concerns of the NDC; relative to the December 7, elections.
