Supreme Court rules against delegate system

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported earlier that the Supreme Court ruled the delegate system used by political parties to elect presidential and parliamentary candidates unconstitutional.

The majority decision ordered all political parties to allow every member in good standing to vote in candidate elections.

The NDC and NPP, which have traditionally relied on delegate conferences, have one year to comply with the court's directive.
