IDEG Calls for 120-Day Limit on Election Dispute Rulings to Strengthen Ghana’s Democratic Processes

The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) has urged Ghana's Judiciary and Parliament to enact legislation mandating that all election-related disputes be resolved within 120 days. This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and credibility of the country's electoral system by ensuring timely adjudication of electoral disputes. Rationale Behind the 120-Day Limit IDEG's proposal stems from concerns that prolonged election dispute resolutions can undermine public confidence in democratic institutions and potentially destabilize the political landscape. By instituting a definitive timeframe, the organization believes that electoral justice will be delivered more promptly, thereby reinforcing the legitimacy of election outcomes. Proposed Legislative Framework The recommended legislation would require that: All election petitions and related legal challenges be filed within a specified period post-election. The Judiciary prioritizes these cases to ensure resolution within the 120-day window. Mechanisms be established to monitor compliance and address […]

I do not agree threshold for a prima facie case against the CJ is low – Barker-Vormawor

Constitutional Rights and Policy Strategy Advisor at Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has strongly contested the assertion by a former Deputy Attorney General, Diana Asonaba Dapaah, that the threshold for establishing a prima facie case against the Chief Justice is low. Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, Barker-Vormawor argued that, contrary to the Deputy AG’s claims, the threshold is considerably high, and the legal process demands a robust evidentiary basis before such a case can proceed. He maintained that, in his view, the allegations currently levelled against the Chief Justice are substantial and, when considered together, meet the necessary requirements to establish a prima facie case. Barker-Vormawor's remarks come amid growing public debate over the accountability of judicial figures and the integrity of constitutional processes in the country following petitions to the president to remove the Cheif Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo for alleged misconducts.
