After a comment he made in an interview with journalists after the court proceedings today, John Dramani Mahama is causing huge stir. John Mahama has made it to the Supreme Court alongside his legal team and Tsatsu Tsikata and are seriously challenging their political opponents, the Npp.

The Supreme Court dismissed multiple motions submitted by the former President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, and this sparked questions as individuals began to tag the judges or panelists of the Supreme Court as bias.

When hearing the case in court today, a total of about 9 panelists dismissed another petition filed by Mahama and his legal team to prolong the court proceedings.

This was a proposal to prolong the court proceedings by the Ndc and its legal team, but it was rejected, and they were bent on denying this motion despite Tsatsu Tsikata’s attempt to persuade them.

 

After the legal blows thrown in court, John Mahama spoke to the media and journalists saying: I can no longer bear it, the court has dismissed multiple motions that were on the same road with the law and I do not know why this is happening.

He was puzzled by his team’s many denied motions and was curious why such treatment could be offered to them in court when their only purpose is to ensure that the right thing is done.

The National Democratic Congress has raised a variety of issues about the Supreme Court of Ghana hearing the pending election petition case.

When the Supreme Court judges sitting on the case set out the rules for the start of the trial, there was drama.

Tsatsu Tsikata, the lead counsel for Mr. John Dramani Mahama, urged the court to hear their applications.

He also advised the judges that in violation of fairness, the timelines for the case could not be served.

 

The judges had previously rejected some interrogations submitted by Tsatsu Tsikata.

As of Thursday, 21 January 2021, Mr. John Dramani Mahama‘s legal team has submitted an application to stay the 2020 election petition proceedings. They are calling on the court to abolish the trial plans for the main case before the request for review is approved.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen political program, Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe, a member of the legal team of the National Democratic Congress, suggested that justice must be served on all Ghanaians fairly.

He states that the NDC can no longer continue to look at what is happening in the situation.

He suggests that the statement implying that John Mahama’s legal team is blocking the procedure is neither here nor there.

People on the other side just build the feeling that we’re playing the court with delay tactics.

What they’re talking about, we don’t know.

It’s only been a few days since the case was called, but they are telling us the time has been delayed.

 

It is expected to be five days for case management. This is only the initial phases, and it is not possible to identify three court sitting phases as delay.

We are all Ghanaians, at least, and justice has to be done fairly.

We can’t keep silent anymore. Not only that, but we’re going to make sure that the right things are done. Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe suggested that

He says that for over forty-five years, lawyer Tsatsu Tsikatsa has studied law and must be treated with respect.

Kennedy Agyapong, Assin Central Member of Parliament(MP), has shot down media reports indicating that he is interested in becoming the President of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He is still an MP, according to him, and that means he can’t even become a party chairman because he’s not ready to give up his job as a lawmaker.

A lot of people call me, and what they’re saying is that they’ve heard that Kennedy Agyapong wants to be the NPP’s national chairman. Why did they forget I was a Member of Parliament? What I want to say is that it’s not the facts, I’m not going to run for the presidency of the party, and I haven’t had any conversation about this with anybody, but it’s all over the place.

In an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com, he added, “It is on social media that I have just been elected as a Member of Parliament by Kennedy Agyapong as NPP Chairman.” I would have quit the MP race if I was interested in becoming the National Chairman, so that means it’s not real.

The maverick lawmaker used the opportunity to call on the NPP’s backers to support the party’s new chairman to ensure he runs the party’s affairs smoothly.
