Graphic.com.gh reports that lawyer for the NDC, Mr Godwin Kodzo Tameklo, abandoned the first leg which had to do with the constitutionality of the EC’s decision to conduct that exercise. Following consultations, the Counsel decided to abort the relief that had to do with the EC’s decision to conduct the registration exercise. The NDC further argues that per Article 45 of the 1992 Constitution the EC can only compile a voter registration once and periodically revise it. A seven member-panel of the Supreme Court presided over by the Chief Justice, Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah will determine the suit on June 23.
