The Supreme Court will today hear the suit by the EC challenging the High Court ruling on the disqualification of the PPP’s presidential candidate Papa Kwesi Nduom.

It comes after the election management body petitioned the apex court to overturn the ruling that ordered it to allow Dr. Nduom correct his nomination form errors and be admitted onto the presidential ballot roll.

The EC disqualified Dr. Nduom and 11 other candidates over anomalies on their nomination forms.

Many of the parties including the APC and NDP have already sued the commission. The cases will be heard separately in the various court today.
