Chief Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah has assured Ghanaians of the preparedness of judges nationwide to handle any disputes that may arise from the upcoming polls.
He said judges have undergone election adjudication training to enable them sufficiently and speedily hear disputes fairly.
The Chief Justice made these remarks, speaking at the launch of the revised election adjudication manual on Tuesday, November 24.
“As we prepare for the 2020 elections, I wish to assure the good people of Ghana of the thoroughness, the professionalism and the patriotism with which we approach and dispense our duties. That will never change.”
“As part of our preparation for the 2020 elections, our judges have sufficient training to better improve their capacity in handling disputes that might emerge after these elections,” the Chief Justice said as quoted by the citinewsroom.

Judges nationwide are also being sensitised “in order that they can approach electoral disputes expeditiously.”
“I am hopeful that our judges will bring these added skills to bear in the determination of disputes which may arrive after the elections,” Chief Justice Anin Yeboah added.
The Chief Justice stressed the need for the quick resolution of electoral conflicts.
“There are no doubts that the slow pace of adjudication of electoral disputes is anathema to the 1992 constitution, which mandates the smooth operation of the country’s democratic culture,” he said in September.
