EC Chair Charlotte Osei maintains that the December 7 polls will come off as planned despite the court cases. The ruling, Mrs Osei believes, will bring finality to all other court cases being filed at the lower courts by some of the disqualified flag bearers. On Friday, 4 November, Mr Hassan Ayariga of the All People’s Party won a court victory similar to that of Dr Nduom’s. The National Democratic Party (NDP), the People’s National Convention (PNC) and the Independent People’s Party (IPP) are also tussling with the commission in court over the disqualification of their flag bearers. The National Peace Council and former Attorney General Martin Amidu have expressed concerns that the several court cases could delay the elections.
