Awal Mohammed, a communications member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has described proceedings at the Tamale High Court that annulled the Kpandai parliamentary election as fundamentally flawed, arguing that the election petition was filed outside the constitutionally required timeframe. Speaking on Joy FM’s AM Show, Awal Mohammed said the controversy centres on the interpretation of CI 127, which mandates that an election petition must be filed within 21 days from the date a parliamentary result is gazetted. According to him, the petition filed at the High Court breached this requirement and should therefore be struck out.
