Private Legal Practitioner, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw says he wasn’t surprised when the lead Counsel for the Petitioner in the Election Petition case, Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata told the court that a witness on their side is suffering from some health complications – hence, cannot appear before the court.
According to Mr Tsikata, if given the chance to file a witness statement, it will help bring a shred of apt evidence and facts to help make their case a more rock-solid one.
His argument comes after an application filed by the petitioner for the 1st respondent; EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa to produce some documents including Constituency and regional collation sheets for inspection, was dismissed by the court.
Private Legal Practitioner, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw says the lead counsel for the petitioner, Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata will end up ‘failing’ the petitioner, John Dramani Mahama in his fight to challenge the 2020 presidential election in court.
According to him, even though the Apex Court judges are “treating Mr Tsatsu with some respect” – the learned lawyer has however chosen to “misbehave” in an open court.

By Mark Abisah 2
Former Deputy Minister for Local Government and Rural development, Captain Nkrabea Effah Dartey (Rtd) has said his endorsement of former President John Dramani Mahama for 2024, has been taken out of context by some section of Ghanaians.
He noted that it was meant to be a wake-up call to NPP executives who sit at the Party Headquarters in Accra and impose candidates on electorates.
Speaking to Nana Ama Fafali on Suncity 97.1 FM’s Morning Drive in Sunyani, the Private Legal Practitioner opined that, should the imposition of candidates on constituents repeat itself in 2024 like it happened in 2020, the party would lose more parliamentary seats.
