Former Deputy Health Minister Robert Joseph Mettle-Nunoo, John Mahama’s third witness in the 2020 election petition, was expected to testify in court on Friday.
However, due to his health condition, he was unable to mount the witness stand at the Supreme Court.
Therefore, the court granted that his testimony is taken through Zoom from his residence in the presence of a designated judicial officer.

The cross-examination did not occur because the second defendant’s lead attorney, attorney Akoto Ampaw, objected to the witness statement.
