The Presidential election petition tribunal has rejected move by the Hope Democratic Party (HPD) to effect some amendments to the petition it filed, challenging the outcome of the 2019 presidential election.
A five-man panel of the court, in two rulings on Thursday, July 18, was in unanimous in dismissing the two documents filed by HDP and its presidential candidate during the election, Ambrose Owuru.
In the first ruling, the court dismissed a motion filed by the petitioners on July 1, 2019, seeking to include more witnesses and effective some amendments to their witnesses’ statement on oath.
In the second ruling, the court held that the document titled “notice to contend” filed by the petitioners is not known to law.
