Based on the Court's directive during the hearing on August 14, 2024, regional chairman Fuseini Nurudeen also directed all aggrieved parties in the case, including NPP communicators and regional executives, to cease communications on the case in dispute on TV and radio stations in the Walewale constituency until the case is resolved in court. He also prohibited interviews, health walks, news conferences, announcements, and public discussions from being broadcast on radio stations in the district.
"My directive is to maintain order within the constituency, unity, and to avoid any potential clashes and conflicts that may arise during the court proceedings if party members discuss the case. We seek peace," he stated.
"We can't allow such discussions on our radio station until the court rules on the ongoing case because they could incite residents," the chairman said in an interview on a radio station monitored by GHOne News, as part of his comments after his press release. The High Court in Tamale on August 14 granted Dr. Kabiru Tia Mahama (first defendant) in the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Walewale Parliamentary primary election dispute the opportunity to file his witness statement by the close of Friday, August 16, 2024.
