The A-G’s office has submitted legal grounds in favour of the case contesting the delegate system employed in political party primaries, according to Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem Sai.
He states that prominent politicians including Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, and Christine Amoako-Nuamah filed the Anti-Delegate System (ADS) case.
Srem Sai said in a Facebook post on May 26, 2026, that the plaintiffs are asking the Supreme Court to rule that all registered members of political parties in good standing ought to be permitted to cast direct ballots in party primaries.
“The three distinguished senior statespersons want the Supreme Court to declare that all registered members in good standing of a political party are entitled to vote in the party’s primaries,” he stated.
He maintained that a favourable decision might greatly improve the nation’s democratic administration and that the existing delegate system restricts involvement in political parties’ internal democratic procedures.
“We believe that the declaration, if made by the Supreme Court, will considerably improve our democracy in many ways,” he continued.
He contends that the case is among the most important constitutional law cases in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.
Major Ghanaian political parties frequently employ the delegate-based system, which enables chosen party representatives to cast ballots in primaries and leadership races on behalf of the entire membership.
