The (NDC) Amenfi Central Constituency in the Western Region has expressed strong dissatisfaction over the Electoral Commission's (EC) disqualification of their Parliamentary Candidate (PC), Joana Gyan Cudjoe.
At a press conference addressed by Constituency Secretary, Fiifi Sangmoah, the party described the EC's action as "undemocratic, unconstitutional, provocative, and barefacedly instigated." The controversy surrounds the May 13, 2023, parliamentary primaries, where Gyan Cudjoe won overwhelmingly.
However, dissatisfied individuals filed a lawsuit, securing an interlocutory injunction that temporarily restrained her from holding herself out as the duly elected candidate.
The NDC's Functional Executive Committee annulled the May 13, 2023, elections and conducted fresh primaries on September 8, 2024.
