NPP welcomes Supreme Court ruling on delegate system, but…. - Evans Nimako

Evans Nimako welcomed the Supreme Court's decision declaring the political party delegate system unconstitutional but stated there are practical issues that must be addressed in implementing the ruling. Speaking on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem, Nimako said the party respects the judgment and will engage its leadership to determine the best approach to comply with the directive while safeguarding the integrity of its internal electoral processes. He stated, "As a law-abiding institution, coming from the court, we don't have any option but to respect the pronouncement of the court."

The Supreme Court's 5-2 majority decision directs political parties to replace the delegate-based system with one allowing all eligible party members to directly participate in presidential and parliamentary primaries. The court ordered political parties to take necessary steps within one year to comply. This decision followed a case filed by Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, and Dr Christine Amoako-Nuamah, who argued the delegate system restricted participation and undermined democratic principles guaranteed under the 1992 Constitution. Nimako raised concerns about practical challenges of implementing the ruling within the stipulated timeframe, specifically identifying eligible party members.
