The Supreme Court on Thursday gave its ruling in a case filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against the Electoral Commission over its decision to compile a new voters’ register.

The Apex Court unanimously ruled in favour of the EC giving it the go ahead to compile a new voters’ register using the recently passed C.I. 126.

-Boycott the elections

-Participate in the election under protest

-Fully participate despite misgivings; accept the Supreme Court decision and participate
