Supreme Court to pass judgement on political parties' delegates system on July 29

The Supreme Court has scheduled July 29, 2026, to deliver its judgment in a suit challenging the delegates system used by political parties in Ghana.

According to GH One TV's Murtala Inusah, this follows proceedings on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, during which the plaintiffs, former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng; veteran politician Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe; and former Minister for Lands and Forestry, Christine Amoako-Nuamah, presented their arguments before the court.

The plaintiffs are asking the Supreme Court to declare that every registered member of a political party in good standing should be allowed to vote in internal party primaries.

They further argued that the current delegate system used by political parties to elect their flagbearers are undemocratic and inconsistent with Article 55 of the 1992 Constitution.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has disclosed that the state has filed its legal arguments in support of the case.

According to him, the case, popularly referred to as the Anti-Delegate System (ADS) case, could become one of the most significant constitutional cases in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.
