The Wenchi High Court in the Bono Region will deliver its ruling on the Techiman South election petition today, Wednesday November 30, 2022.
Though the court is yet to rule on the matter, there is a heavy security presence at the court premises
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) filed the petition to protest the 2020 parliamentary elections in the Techiman South Constituency.
The party believes it won the Techiman South Parliamentary election as it accused the Electoral Commission (EC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of conniving to rob them of their victory.
The suit called on the court to annul the declaration of the NPP’s Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah as Techiman South MP.
The NDC rather prayed the court to declare Dr Christopher Beyere Baasongti as the legitimate winner of the Techiman South 2020 parliamentary elections.
On the other hand, the NPP believes their candidate and current Member of Parliament (MP), Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah was legally elected as announced by the Electoral Commission.
According to the Electoral Commission Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah gained 49,682 votes while Christopher Beyere got 49,205 votes.
