The Electoral Commission has complied with the Wenchi High Court’s order to provide Dr Christopher Beyere Baasongti, the petitioner in the Techiman South Constituency election case, election documents for inspection.
According to the registrar of the Wenchi High Court, Kwabena Osei, the EC was able to provide all the original documents but the court later detected that two copies of the documents were not original.
Briefing the media after the inspection, the registrar said the original copies of the two documents were later provided.
Before the inspection was carried out yesterday, journalists in the court room were ordered out by the registrar of the court saying that the media was not allowed in court sitting.

The Wenchi High Court has ordered the Electoral Commission (EC) to produce only the original copies of documents on the Techiman South 2020 Parliamentary results, in three days.
Mr Christopher Bayere Baasongti, the Techiman South Parliamentary Candidate of the National Democratic Congress is praying the court, presided by Justice A.W.K Nawurah, to overturn the declaration of Mr Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, the New Patriotic Party candidate as the winner of the contest.
He has, consequently, sued, Mr Korsah, who has since been sworn into office, the EC and the Clerk of Parliament.
At its hearing, on Wednesday, the court ruled that only original copies of the documents would be allowed, and not the photocopied ones earlier filed by the EC.
