A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team, Justice Srem Sai, has raised concerns over the legitimacy of three New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidates declared as Members of Parliament-elect.
“And so, this morning, we are filing a certiorari to quash the swearing-in. In the light of all these, I do not honestly see how anybody will bless these three alleged MPs with any swearing-in this evening or tomorrow”, he stated.
However, Justice Srem Sai has described the process as unconstitutional and announced plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. The NDC also intends to file a certiorari to prevent the swearing-in of the disputed MPs-elect.
Moreover, the candidates, Patrick Yaw Boamah, Charles Forson, and Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, were declared winners of their respective parliamentary seats in Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, and Techiman South constituencies after a court-ordered collation of results.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, January 6, Justice Srem Sai compared the current dispute to the case involving John-Peter Amewu during the 2020 Hohoe parliamentary election
