Lead counsel for the New Patriotic Party [NPP] in the historic election petition case, Lawyer Philip Addison says in case there is another election petition in the country; he will not lead the NPP again.
He explained that, the procedure is �hectic� and a �waste of time� for any political party to pursue an election petition.
�It�s real hectic because we have to go through a whole lot of documents. I will not want such a situation to happen again. I might not lead the party [NPP] in any election petition case. We have able lawyers in the party...someone else can act as lead counsel as well,� he said on Adom FM.
August 29th, 2014 is exactly a year the nine Justices of the Supreme Court led by Justice William Atuguba ruled over the historic Election Petition that challenged President John Mahama�s legitimacy as President at the Supreme Court of the land.
Philip Addison led the legal team of the petitioners [Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia and Mr. Jake Obetsebi Lamptey] when they presented to the Supreme Court a geographic representation of the spread of the �constitutional, statutory violations and irregularities� that they claimed affected the conduct and outcome of the December 7, 2012 presidential polls.
