Court orders substituted service in NDC's legal challenge over parliamentary election results

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has initiated legal proceedings against the Electoral Commission and several individuals concerning the parliamentary election results in four constituencies: Tema Central, Ablekuma North, Okaikwei Central, and Techiman South.
The applicants—Baba Sadiq, Ewurabena Aubynn, Ebi Bright, and Christopher Beyere—are contesting the outcomes declared by the Electoral Commission.
Efforts to serve court documents to the respondents, including Patrick Yaw Boamah, Nana Akua Owusu Afriyie, Charles Forson, and Martin Kweku Adjei Mensah Korsah, have been unsuccessful.
In response, the court has granted an order for substituted service, permitting alternative methods to notify the respondents of the ongoing legal action.
The court's directive includes:
Media Publication: Publishing the court documents in newspapers, on television, and on other media platforms to inform the respondents.
Posting at Last Known Residences: Affixing copies of the documents at the respondents' last known residential addresses.
Posting at Offices or Party Offices: Placing the documents at their official workplaces or associated political party offices.
This approach aims to ensure that the respondents are adequately informed and provided an opportunity to respond to the legal proceedings.
Failure to acknowledge the summons may result in the court proceeding in their absence.
The Constituency Executive Committee (CEC) in a notice signed by Reuben K. Obrey has communicated this development to all constituents, emphasizing the importance of adhering to legal processes and ensuring that all parties are duly notified.
