High Court Judge Judge George Buadi, who previously granted a request for an interim injunction to prevent the Election Commission (EC) from releasing the parliamentary results for the Hohoe constituency and also retaining the elected MP for the constituency, John Peter Amewu, sworn in in Parliament, is a card-carrying member of the opposition Democratic National Congress, Obriri Boahen alleged.

“The judge who sat on this case for the ex parte request was a former NDC MP in eastern Amanfi from 1993 to 2001. George Buadi was an NDC MP”, one of the team New Patriotic Party (NPP) government legal action The 2020 election petition has not yet started, Nana Obiri Boahen said.

Reacting to a comment on social media: “Tsatsu knows the law and Deputy Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame knows the judge,” a line suggesting that judges across the country are more towards the NDC opposition over the cases election before them, lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen urged the parties not to start on this path.

“The NDC should not go there at all, this path would be slippery for us. Why did they choose to go to a High Court in Ho instead of Hoehoe where the plaintiff happens to be the MP? It’s mind-boggling for us, ”he fumed in an interview followed by MyNewsGh.com on a local radio station in Kumasi.

According to the NPP deputy general secretary, the NDC led by former president John Dramani Mahama has taken a path to destroy the hard-earned reputation of the judges who will sit on the election petition for obvious reasons.

“I don’t understand why the NDC is behaving this way, the 2016 NPP went to the Supreme Court to challenge the results, but no one tried to denigrate our judges like the NDC people have started now,” he said. said lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen.
