His Lordship George Krofa Addae of the Koforidua High Court -2 has recused himself from the Fanteakwa North Parliamentary election case, citing personal connections and friendships with key individuals involved.
The judge revealed that he is a native of Begoro, the district capital of Fanteakwa North, and that his wife and family are from the town.
He acknowledged his friendships with executives of both the NPP and NDC, adding that they sometimes visit him.
Given these personal ties, he deemed it inappropriate to preside over three cases which involves an application to set aside a writ of summons and certiorari, a substantive injunction against Kwame Appiah Kodua, the NPP MP-elect, and a contempt application.
