landmark verdict on the election petition hearing. Stakeholders and
Analysts Radio Ghana spoke to expressed diverse opinions and lessons the petition has taught. 

A Member of the NDC Legal team, Abraham Amaliba said the petition tested the maturity of the country's democratic and political dispensation. 

He said the petition brought to the fore some issues to be looked at.

A Lawyer and Leading Member of the NPP, Ayikoi Otoo explained the dynamics of the country's justice system in cases such as the election petition. 

Mr. Otoo emphasized the need to pay particular attention to biometric voting.

goes into elections monitoring.
