Supreme Court dismisses Mahama’s application to re open case

The Supreme Court has in a unanimous decision dismissed an application by the 2020 NDC presidential candidate seeking leave to reopen his case.
John Mahama, who is the petitioner, had urged the court to grant his request saying he intends to subpoena EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa to testify.
His application follows an earlier ruling by the apex court that it cannot compel a party in a case to adduce evidence if the party does not want to do so.
But arguing his case yesterday, lead counsel for Mr Mahama, Tsatsu Tsikata said they were taken by surprise when the EC Chairperson opted not to testify after submitting a witness statement, hence the decision to reopen the case and ask for a subpoena.
