The commercial division of the Sekondi High Court presided over by his Lordship Justice Gyan-Kontor is expected to rule on the case of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) application seeking to set aside the injunction which has resulted in the non-recognition of the Amenfi Central Parliamentary Candidate by the Electoral Commission (EC).The National Democratic Congress filed a fresh writ at the Sekondi High Court following the EC's refusal to recognize Joana Gyan Cudjoe as the duly elected NDC candidate for Amenfi Central, despite a previous High Court ruling in Sekondi on May 13, 2024, which had ordered that Cudjoe be acknowledged as the legitimate candidate.At the last hearing on November 7 at the Sekondi High Court, lawyers for Joana Gyan Cudjoe, NDC parliamentary candidate for Amenfi Central, attempted to lift an injunction at Sekondi High Court.The injunction led to her removal from the Notice of Poll.After a 30-minute recess, parties failed to agree on lifting the injunction.Justice Gyan-Kontor directed them to resolve the intra-party issue by Sunday, November 10, 2024 and report to the Court on Monday, November 11, 2024.The parties are therefore expected back today, Monday, and if successful, proceed with the case.
