The Supreme Court has ordered the Electoral Commission to proceed with the compilation of a new voters register.
The court ruled that the EC has the constitutional mandate to compile a new register.
The opposition, the National Democratic Congress is challenging the Commission’s commitment to compile a new register.
The court in its decision held that the EC is an independent body and will only be directed by the court if it acts contrary to law.
