Private legal practitioner,
Lawyer Obiri Boahen has said the petitioner has failed to prosecute his case
well before the seven-member panel hearing the 2020 election petition.
Although he failed to attribute
the problem to a single lawyer, he noted that the lawyers failed the petitioner
in presenting a valid case before the court.
Lawyer Boahen further noted that
the witnesses in the case did not also help the petitioner in convincing the
court.
He explained that the EC Chair, Jean Mensa could be dragged before
the Parliament of Ghana to answer questions on the conduct of the
2020 polls.
He said if the petitioner wants
the EC to account for her work, Parliament could take that charge and
interrogate the matter.
“Lawyers of Mahama failed to
prosecute the case well. That is the truth everyone is failing to speak. People
are afraid to tell Mahama the truth. His lawyers failed to prosecute the case
well. Legally speaking, the case was not well handled.”
He said the former President
should blame his lawyers for the poor work done on his case.
According to him, his position is grounded in law and not
politically motivated.
