The Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has disclosed that the state has filed its legal arguments in support of a Supreme Court case seeking to allow all registered political party members to vote in party primaries.

According to him, the case, popularly referred to as the Anti-Delegate System (ADS) case, could become one of the most significant constitutional cases in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.

In a statement shared on Facebook on May 26, 2026, Dr Srem-Sai said the government believes the outcome of the case could strengthen Ghana’s democratic system.

“Yesterday, we filed our argument in what I think is one of the most impactful constitutional law cases in the Fourth Republic — the Anti-Delegate System (ADS) case,” he stated.

The suit was filed by former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng; veteran politician Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe; and former Minister for Lands and Forestry, Christine Amoako-Nuamah.

Human rights lawyer Oliver Barker-Vormawor is serving as counsel for the plaintiffs.

Dr Srem-Sai explained that the plaintiffs are asking the Supreme Court to declare that every registered member of a political party in good standing should be allowed to vote in internal 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 said.

He added that the Attorney General’s office supports the position taken by the plaintiffs.

“We believe that the declaration, if made by the Supreme Court, will considerably improve our democracy in many ways. We argued in support of the plaintiff’s case,” he added.
