The Electoral Commission’s request for another extension of time to implement the Representation of the Peoples Amendment Act, ROPAA, has been granted by the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court.
The court presided over by Justice Nicholas Abodakpi Wednesday gave the EC 12 months to implement the Act.
The earlier order for extension ended on the 31st December, last year but the EC requested for another extension from January this year to January first next year.
The court said the leadership of the EC has changed over the course of time and it would be important and prudent they are allowed more time.
The court said the EC has done nothing to show they have disobeyed orders that were previously made even though orders in the earlier judgement have not been complied with.
