Group secures injunction against NPP parliamentary poll in Asante Mampong

The court case, which lasted over a year, was dismissed by the High Court in Mampong, paving the way for the party to hold elections for electoral area coordinators and constituency executives.

The plaintiffs, who were unhappy with the High Court ruling, obtained a separate injunction seeking to prevent polling station executives from participating in the NPP’s presidential primaries in 2023.

However, the polling station executives were able to take part in that election as the plaintiffs failed to serve the party on time.

This was after they filed an appeal on the previous case, that was dismissed by the High Court.

The Asante Mampong Constituency Secretary of the NPP, Alhaji Malik Agyei, confirmed that the party has suspended the elections after being served with the injunction.

“We received a letter yesterday, and the understanding is that some 25 people took the party to court on February 25, 2020, and the reason was that polling station elections that were conducted were unclean because they say people were denied forms, others forms were torn, and others were made to contest for positions that they did not intend to contest, and it was dismissed.”

I was there yesterday, and they brought an interlocutory injunction from the High Court and so as we speak now, we have been duly served, and it is to be moved on February 14, 2024, and so we await for the court to sit on the injunction to pave way for the primaries.”
