According to the Chief Justice, Justice Anin Yeboah said the new amendments to the Supreme Court Rules were meant to guide the apex court to expeditiously deal with electoral disputes.
"The amendment to the Supreme Court Rules, effected by the Supreme Court (Amendment) (No 2) Rules, 2016 (C.I. 99), has introduced strict timelines for the management and hearing of presidential election disputes which require the court to determine any such disputes on the 42nd day after its filling," he said.
