Supreme Court likely to rule in favour of NPP – Atuguba


A senior law lecturer has predicted a Supreme
Court ruling that could favour the stance espoused
by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the
Abu Ramadan/Evans Nimako Vrs EC case

.Dr Rawmond Akongburo Atuguba opines that given
the party that appointed them and the way they
have voted on political issues, the judges will
favour the plaintiffs, whose stance is strongly
supported by the NPP.

But the former Executive Secretary at the
Presidency said a unanimous decision on the issue
could be reached.

“On issues of pure politics, and going by which
party appointed them; the way they have
historically voted on political issues; and their
posture and voting pattern during the Election
Petition Case of 2012; and in the case of a
non-unanimous decision, the majority of the
current panel of the Supreme Court will likely
rule in favour of the stance preferred by the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) in this case and the
minority for the stance of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC),” Dr Atuguba wrote in an
expository piece on Monday, June 27.
