Lecturer at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Law School, Justice Abdulai, has described the Supreme Court’s decision to suspend the parliamentary rerun in the Kpandai constituency as a prudent and fair move, despite its surprising timing.
He said the apex court’s injunction was justified and prevents a potential waste of state resources.
The lecturer said this on JoyNews on Tuesday, December 16.
The rerun was suspended pending the determination of a certiorari application seeking to quash the initial court order that mandated the fresh election.
The lecturer affirmed that the court’s intervention, while unexpected given the advanced preparations for the rerun, was ultimately the correct course of action.
He believes the pause creates an opportunity for a more robust process.
The Supreme Court’s injunction has put the Kpandai rerun on hold indefinitely, with political parties and the Electoral Commission awaiting the court’s final ruling on the pending application.
