Previous President John Mahama has depicted Supreme Court's decision that banned the Assin North MP, Gyakye Qayson, from performing parliamentary obligations as a deception of equity.
The 2020 NDC flagbearer, in a Facebook post on Thursday, said the pinnacle court's decision is a conscious showcase of insolence to the nation's vote based system.
"The portrayal of individuals is at the core of our vote based system. Subsequently, any choice that denies the populace of portrayal is a tragedy of equity and an attack against our vote based system," Mr Mahama said.
In a larger part 5-2 choice on Wednesday, April 13, the Supreme Court decided that Mr Gyakye Quayson can never again perform parliamentary obligations.
This is until the assurance of the meaningful body of evidence recorded against him at the Supreme Court.
Be that as it may, Mr Mahama has scrutinized the lawfulness of the decision when there is a meaningful case forthcoming under the watchful eye of the Supreme Court on the authenticity of the Assin North MP.
He along these lines thinks that the meaningful case under the watchful eye of the pinnacle court has proactively been disallowed Mr Quayson.
"I can't comprehend how a MP can be controlled from completing his obligations when the considerable case to give certainty to the subject of his authenticity has not entirely set in stone.
"Or on the other hand is it the situation that the result of the meaningful body of evidence has been foreordained against him?" John Mahama tested.
In the mean time, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice said the troubled Assin North MP, James Gyakye Quayson, ought to be made to confront a similar destiny as the previous New Patriotic Party's Adamu Sakende.
The late Adamu Sakende was condemned to two years detainment for owing loyalty to Ghana and Burkina Faso when he challenged the political race to be Bawku Central MP, which he therefore won.
Godfred Dame accepts that the cases are similar consequently comparative standards should be applied, and the law should be similarly applied on account of James Gyakye Quayson.
"I feel that there should be an even utilization of the law, the very destiny that came to pass for Adamu Sakande, who was not qualified at the time that assignments were opened, and we as a whole realize what has been going on with him.
"Adamu Dramani Sakande wound up experiencing the same thing. Thus, he was not qualified when designations were opened and was accordingly announced ineligible, and, so far as that is concerned, his seat was removed.
"So there must be an even use of the law. Assuming that it happened to Adamu Sakande of the NPP, it ought to happen to a courteous fellow of the NDC who winds up experiencing the same thing."
Notwithstanding, CDD Fellow, Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, is sure the Court will call for by-races for the supporters.
As result, he has encouraged the Assin North MP to leave and run for the bye-political decision formally.
He further encouraged the administrator to attempt to win the political decision to "show us how wrong we get things done and how conflicting, and how ambiguous our law has become."
