Tsatsu Tsikata, lead counsel for Petitioner John Dramani Mahama in the 2020 Election Petition has argued that some aspects of the judgement by the Supreme Court shocked him.
Speaking on the KSM Show on Friday, March 12, Tsatsu Tsikata said: “The fact that the decision went against us, is part of the reality of court proceedings. In my own estimation, there are a number of aspects of the decision that are somewhat strange.”
“The court tried to set aside the evidence of two of the witnesses that were presented by John Mahama, namely Dr Michael Kpessah-Whyte and Robert Joseph [Rojo] Mettle-Nunoo. There was a description of that evidence as ‘fanciful tales’ which is quite extraordinary because the witnesses gave a completely truthful compelling account of the situation in the Electoral Commission premises on the day that the declaration was supposed to be made,” Tsikata said.
