Lawyers are trained to be strategic and forward looking in the Courtroom. Bearing in mind that the decisions of the Supreme Court have lasting policy implications, the lawyer chose what will provide multiple but mass benefit to the people of Ghana.
Given that the Supreme Court provided a mutually exclusive opportunity and the lawyer chose to include the Voter ID card as identity for the purpose of registration, it means the Supreme Court did not give the needed interpretation to Ghanaians about whether or not registration should be done once in the life of series of elections subject to updating the register through limited registration and removal of the names of the dead from the register .
The implication is that another Ghanaian can go to the Supreme Court to seek interpretation of same.
The decision to ask the lawyer of the applicant to choose between relief one and Two is indirectly inviting others to apply for that relief.
