The Supreme Court has nullified the re-collation of votes in four parliamentary constituencies.

The constituencies include Tema Central, Ablekuma North, Techiman South, and Okaikwei Central, which were part of the December 7 general elections.

The court ruled that the High Court judge’s order for re-collation violated the right to a fair hearing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidates.

It clarified, however, that the ruling does not affect the election results for Ahafo Ano North and Nsawam Adoagyiri.

This decision challenges the Electoral Commission's (EC) re-collation exercise and subsequent declarations in the affected constituencies.

Nonetheless, the Supreme Court directed that the mandamus application in the case must continue at the High Court on Tuesday, 31 December, but be heard by a different judge.

The NDC had accused the High Court judge who issued the initial re-collation order of bias and procedural errors.

The now-quashed ruling, dated Friday, 20 December, had directed the EC to re-collate votes in nine constituencies where alleged irregularities were reported.

The mandamus application had been filed by New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidates, who argued that discrepancies in the results required verification to ensure transparency and accuracy.

While the EC complied with the order in seven constituencies, re-collation for Dome-Kwabenya and Ablekuma North remains incomplete.
