The NDC legal team in the 2012 election dispute has described as unfortunate, attempts to draw a comparison between the recent Supreme Court outcome on the election dispute in Kenya, to the Ghanaian situation. Judges in the East African country spent less than two months to give a ruling on a similar presidential election dispute case. The situation has generated strong criticisms from a section of the public who say judges at Ghana�s Supreme Court have wasted too much time on the case challenging John Mahama�s legitimacy as president. In a sharp rebuttal however, a leading member of the legal team, Nana Ato Dadzie says the two situations are entirely different. "I think that it�s an unfortunate comparison because they are two different jurisdictions and constitutions. Kenya is coming from a very difficult situation�It is not and will not be the same as our democratic judicial system, slowly but surely proper justice will be done�, he emphasised.
