The Supreme Court has in a unanimous decision dismissed an application by the 2020 NDC presidential candidate seeking leave to reopen his case. John Mahama, who is the petitioner, had urged the court to grant his request saying he intends to subpoena EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa to testify. His application follows an earlier ruling by the apex court that it cannot compel a party in a case to adduce evidence if the party does not want to do so. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/politics-stop-clutching-on-straw-bribery-allegation-against-akufo-addo-won-t-wash-npp-to-ndc But arguing his case yesterday, lead counsel for Mr Mahama, Tsatsu Tsikata said they were taken by surprise when the EC Chairperson opted not to testify after submitting a witness statement, hence the decision to reopen the case and ask for a subpoena. He insists that there are also allegations that came up during the cross-examination of their witnesses and these are matters only the EC Chairperson can speak to. Giving further arguments before the ruling today, Lawyer Tsikata said he has listed new authorities that will back claims that the Chairperson is an individual and therefore can be subpoenaed. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-political-parties-support-proposal-to-make-election-day-a-public-holiday But this request had been opposed by lawyers for the EC and President Akufo-Addo; the 1st and 2nd Respondents in the election petition hearing. Both sides insist that the petitioner is simply seeking to use the back door to boost a petition he has failed woefully to prove. The two counsels further argued that if the quest is to provide new evidence, then Mr. Mahama’s team has failed to demonstrate that there is a piece of evidence they can extract from the EC Chairperson with the potential to materially affect how the case is determined. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/registered-voters-can-access-their-details-on-the-ec-website-ussd-code-android-mobile-apps-ec Backing this stance, Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah who read the ruling said the petitioner has not indicated how the evidence he intends to solicit from the EC Chairperson will help to determine the case. Again the Chief Justice emphasized that the success of the petitioner’s case is dependent on his evidence and therefore the decision to close his case was not based on the fact that Madam Jean Mensa had filed a witness statement and was to testify. He also stated that the arguments raised by the counsel for the petitioner are almost the same as those raised in the objection to the 1st Respondent’s decision not to call a witness; thus Section 26 of the Evidence Act is not applicable in this case. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/bloody-fight-as-kwabenya-police-officer-catches-man-chopping-his-wife-on-val-s-day The Chief Justice concluded by explaining that the EC Chairperson is not on trial hence she cannot be asked to vindicate herself. The hearing has been adjourned to Wednesday, February 17. Credit: Myjoyonline.com

Gender activist and feminist Felicity Nelson has taken on Member of Parliament(MP) for Ablekuma North Sheila Bartels for praying that God delivers husbands from women willing to have an adulterous relationship with them, insisting that women like Sheila Bartels must rather concentrate on their cheating husbands rather than pray against the women their husbands have the adulterous relationships with. Sheila Bartels had posted on social media seeking divine intervention in the matter of their husbands becoming victims of the witchcraft of well-flavored harlots. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/registered-voters-can-access-their-details-on-the-ec-website-ussd-code-android-mobile-apps-ec She wrote: “Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcraft. Nahum 3:4 KJV. Deliver our husbands, Lord, from every Chantel. Amen”. But Ms Nelson hit back saying that her prayer for the deliverance of their husbands from “every Chantel” is misplaced given that it is their husbands that actively seek to have adulterous relationships with women and that wives should expect loyalty from their husbands. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-political-parties-support-proposal-to-make-election-day-a-public-holiday “Can someone ask her when we will be delivering Chantel from your husbands? Your husbands leave the house and actively chase other women and do everything possible for the woman to agree to date them. An outsider is not responsible for upholding your marital vows. You seek no accountability from the men that stand before God and man and vow to stay true to you yet you expect a woman that doesn’t know you to hold your marriage together. Seek accountability from your husbands,” she wrote.
