The court on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, dismissed Mahama’s request through his lawyers to reopen his case.

A spokesperson for the lawyers of Mahama Dr. Dominic Ayine in reaction to this decision by the court said the court is doing a great disservice to Ghanaians in denying the reopening of the case.

Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bolgatanga East Constituency in the Upper East Region further said the fact that the Supreme Court has reduced ‘five key issues to be determined’ to just one is a smack of a predetermined agenda to rule against the petitioner”

To reduce the petition into a single issue petition is rather unfortunate and smack of a predetermined agenda to rule against the petitioner in this matter
