James Kofi Annan of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and independent candidate Louisa Buabeng have jointly filed an election petition challenging the results of the 2024 Parliamentary Election in the Effutu Constituency.

They claim numerous irregularities, including alleged misconduct by the police, the (EC), and judicial officials, which they argue compromised the integrity of the election process.

The petitioners have accused the police of harassing Louisa Buabeng, the independent candidate, even before the election.

Buabeng was arrested on what they describe as "frivolous charges" and denied bail, leading her to seek judicial intervention from the High Court in Cape Coast.
