Group petitions UN, others over ‘SC bias’ in 2020 election petition

The Organization of Social Democracy and Development Dialogue Forum – Africa (SDDDF-Africa) has petitioned the International Community about the ongoing 2021 Supreme Court (SC) petition.

It fears the Petitioner is likely not to get true justice as there seems to be no fair play at the Supreme Court insisting it is critical that diplomatic eyes and attention are directed to this matter for justice.

The petition among other things seeks to highlight developments including the SC panel composition, lingering issues of alleged political bias, claims of unfairness and the likelihood of the same to deprive Ghanaians of true justice.

The appeal to the International Community (Development partners) according to the group, is to have a keen interest in this matter and to use all channels available to them to ensure justice, “so as Ghana’s current but fragile situation does not degenerate.”

The International Organizations/Missions include the United Nations (UN), ECOWAS Commission, European Union, the office of the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for West Africa & Sahelian region, major Embassies and High Commissions in Ghana.
