Supreme court adjourns ruling to Dr. Zenator's application to May 19

The Supreme Court has adjourned ruling to the 19th of this month an application filed by Counsel for Dr Zenator Rawlings, Godwin Tamakloe to quash a ruling by a High Court Judge. 

Mr Tamakloe is challenging the High Court's capacity to interpret a section of the Constitution in its ruling on an application he filed to dismiss a suit against Dr Zanetor Rawlings. 

According to him, the High Court lacked jurisdiction to interpret Article 94 subsection one clause A, a suit brought by the MP for Klottey Korle, Nii Armah Ashitey, challenging the eligibility of Dr Zenator Rawlings to contest the Parliamentary seat in that constituency. 

Mr Tamakloe argued that the High Court Judge wrongly assumed jurisdiction and is therefore praying the Supreme Court to quash that decision adding that only the highest court of the land is vested with power to interpret constitutional matters. 

Counsel for Nii Armah Ashitey, Gary Nimako contended that at the time Dr Zenator contested the Primaries, she was not a registered voter and therefore her candidature should be annulled claiming that it is a violation under the constitution.
