705 The Supreme Court has dismissed an application by former President John Dramani Mahama, seeking the permission of the court to reopen his case to enable his lawyers to subpoena the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Jean Mensa to appear before the court and testify as a “hostile witness” in the 2020 Presidential Election Petition. In a ruling today (February 16, 2021), the seven-member panel of the Supreme Court in a unanimous ruling said the petitioner (Mr Mahama) had not given it an inkling of the new evidence he wants to bring to the court and how the evidence would assist the court. The apex Court also added that the petitioner did not also disclose how the evidence would advance the course of his petition.
