Economic and Social Policy think tank, IMANI Africa, says it respects but disagrees with the Supreme Court’s (SC) ruling on the case between the Electoral Commission (EC) and the National Democratic Congress.

According to Mr Cudjoe, the entire processes leading to the compilation of the new voters’ register have been hugely discredited and so it’s a shame the SC gave a ruling in favour of the EC.


He added that the think tank’s position on the issue has not changed even after the ruling by the apex court, saying it will continue to speak on how the entire electoral process has been hugely discredited.


It’s a shame that the SC has accepted this shambolic process, we respect the SC but disagree with its ruling, he further intimated.
