The Supreme Court of Ghana has released the official judgment of the case involving the citizenship of the immediate past Member of Parliament for Assin North in the Central Region, James Gyakye Quayson.
This follows the apex court’s ruling in which it declared unconstitutional the election of James Gyakye Quayson as a Member of Parliament (MP).
This is after a seven-member panel of the apex court ordered Parliament to expunge the name of Mr Quayson from its records.
Presiding Judge, Justice Jones Dotse on Wednesday, May 17, ruled that the Electoral Commission (EC) acted unconstitutionally in allowing him to contest the 2020 parliamentary elections without proof of him renouncing his Canadian Citizenship.
This was after a case was filed by a resident of the constituency Michael Ankomah Nimfah.
The case was heard by Justices Jones Dotse, Nene Amegatcher, Mariama Owusu, Gertrude Torkonoo, Prof Henrietta Mensah Bonsu, Emmanuel Kulendi, and Barbara Ackah Ayensu.
