In court on Tuesday, Lawyers of the former president John Mahama were seeking leave of the Supreme Court to allow the electoral commission respond to some 12 interrogatories (questions) to expedite the hearing of the election petition.

But the court refused the request.

Following the refusal of the request, the court has directed the parties to file their issues set out for hearing by 9am on Wednesday, January 20.

The parties are to return to court Wednesday for Case Management Conference or the pre-trial hearing.
