Supreme Court Trashes Mahama’s Request To Cross-Examine Jean Mensa

The Supreme Court of Ghana has trash the petitioner in the ongoing Election Petition, Mr. Mahama’s request to cross-examine the EC Chairperson Jean Mensa.

The seven-member panel of the Supreme Court earlier today ruled that the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa is free not to testify in the ongoing election petition.

The apex court made the ruling on Thursday, February 11, 2021, on the back of an application filed by lead counsel for the Electoral Commission, Justine Amenuvor and that of President Akufo-Addo, Akoto Ampaw, asking for permission not to call any witness.

Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah who read the ruling said the judges were not convinced by the contrary arguments made by Tsatsu Tsikata, lead counsel for the petitioner
