General News of Friday, 4 November 2016Source: Myjoyonline.comJudge throws out EC recusal motion as 'completely frivolous'Thaddeus SoryAn Accra High Court has dismissed a motion filed by the Electoral Commission demanding that Justice Kyei Baffour recuses himself from a case. After listening to the three reasons that formed the basis for the motion, the judge ruled that "I do not find any of the grounds weightier, it is completely frivolous, I dismiss same". In both cases, the applicants are asking the court to order the EC to allow them back into the presidential race after certain conditions are met. In the PPP case determined last week Friday, Justice Eric Kyei Baffour ordered the EC to allow PPP Presidential candidate Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom to correct 'errors' on his presidential nomination forms which formed the basis for his disqualification by the EC. Facing the same judge again Thaddeus Sory believed that he would not get a fair hearing on the NDP's case and, therefore, demanded the judge to vacate himself from the case.
