The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is seeking to restrain the Electoral Commission (EC) from printing the ballot papers for the parliamentary elections in Amenfi Central.
The main opposition party has therefore filed an injunction application to that effect.
This came on the heels of the disqualification of the party’s parliamentary candidate for the Amenfi Central. The NDC’s head of legal, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo described the disqualification as mischievous and disingenuous.
“The basis of the disqualification is the purported interlocutory injunction from the High Court in Sekondi which is extremely mischievous because clearly, the EC at all material times, was a party to the suit in the Sekondi Court.
“Each time we appeared before the judge in Sekondi, there was a representative for the EC and so the proceedings were known to the EC. When we annulled that election and decided to rerun it, they came to supervise the election and so for Samuel Tettey to refer to the injunction [in the disqualification] is completely disingenuous.”
The disqualification was based on an interlocutory injunction issued by the Sekondi High Court, which prevents the EC from recognizing Cudjoe as the party’s candidate.
