The Minority in Parliament has stressed that even strong disagreement with a court judgment must be pursued strictly through lawful and constitutional avenues, as it welcomed the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) expression of disagreement with aspects of the Supreme Court’s decision on the Kpandai parliamentary election. In a statement on Wednesday, January 28, following the apex court’s ruling, the Minority said it takes note of the NDC’s concerns and its contemplation of a possible review but stated that Ghana’s constitutional democracy provides clear and orderly mechanisms for such dissent. “The Minority affirms that, in a constitutional democracy, even strong disagreement with a judgment must be expressed through lawful avenues - reasoned critique, academic debate and, where available, the structured review procedures of the Supreme Court itself," the Minority said. The Minority welcomed the ruling, describing it as a landmark decision that restores the unequivocal mandate lawfully conferred by the people of Kpandai on their Member of Parliament, Matthew Nyindam. The Minority further commended the legal team of Matthew Nyindam for what it described as tireless and brilliant advocacy in defence of the rule of law.
