The New Patri­otic Party (NPP) Minority Caucus in Parliament has questioned the handling of the contempt of court application against the Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Ernest Yaw Kumi, describing the process as an abuse of judicial authority.

The NPP caucus accused the High Court judge presiding over the case, Justice Emmanuel Senyo Amedahe, of bias and judicial overreach in his handling of the matter.

The caucus, led by the MP for Weija-Gbawe, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, made the observation at a press conference outside Parliament yesterday.

The case stems from an election petition filed on December 31, 2024, by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Akwatia, Henry Boakye-Yiadom, challenging the election results.
