Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has stated that the parliamentary candidates whose results were quashed by the Supreme Court on Friday, December 27, 2024, were not eligible to be sworn in as Members of Parliament.
The Supreme Court nullified the re-collated results for the Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, Tema Central, and Techiman South constituencies, citing irregularities in the process.
This ruling followed a legal challenge by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against a High Court decision from December 20, which directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate parliamentary election results in nine disputed constituencies.
The NDC strongly opposed the High Court’s directive, arguing that the re-collation process was unlawful and lacked merit. The party contended that the court had exceeded its jurisdiction, undermining the transparency and credibility of the electoral process.
