This means the way is cleared for the Supreme Court to decide on the Petition on March 4, 2021.

The closing addresses are the summary of all that have transpired in the course of the hearing and what each of the parties wanted as per their case before the court.

The Respondents, Electoral Commission and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo filed theirs on February 17, 2021.
