Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has said he would have called for the vacant seat case to be moved from the Supreme Court if he were to be the president.
Addressing the clergymen in Kumasi at the Great Hall, KNUST Mr Mahama indicated that the issues can be best addressed through political means and not legal and noted the solution to the impasse is not a legal matter as it is currently witnessed.
“If I were the President, I would call for the case to be vacated from the Supreme Court and summon the leaders of the two causes and council of state together with the speaker and some religious bodies so there can be a solution to the matter,” Mr Mahama had said.
According to him, a political solution between the two causes is needed rather than a Supreme Court determination as Parliament may choose not to heed to the court’s ruling because they are not under the Judiciary.
“I think that it is something we can solve politically, the solution is not legal because the Supreme Court can give a ruling and Parliament can decide not to obey because they are not under the Judiciary. So, this requires a political solution,” John Mahama stated.
The NDC flagbearer’s worship with the clergy is the second meeting with the clergy where he intends to share his policies and vision with the clergy and also ask for prayers from the clergy as he embarks on a journey to seek for a comeback to Ghana’s presidency.
