The High Court in Koforidua has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Akwatia Member of Parliament, Ernest Yaw Kumi, after finding him guilty of contempt of court.
Kumi's conviction stems from his decision to continue holding himself out as an MP despite an interim injunction that barred him from being sworn into office.
The court had earlier directed him to refrain from assuming his parliamentary role until a legal dispute was resolved.
However, he defied the order and proceeded to take the oath of office in Parliament.
