The Koforidua High Court is expected to sit on the interlocutory injunction application placed on the Akropong constituency election today Friday.
The injunction debarred the constituency from taking part in the Eastern Regional executives election held on Saturday, May 28, 2022
The Member of Parliament for Akropong, Ama Dokua Asiamah has been accused of masterminding the injunction.
The Akropong Constituency executives election of the NPP which was slated on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, was injuncted by the camp of the MP.
One of the suits was filed ahead of the vetting of the Constituency Executives elections on Monday, May 23, 2022, ahead of the vetting for Constituency Women Organiser and Organiser.
Upon successful completion of the vetting, the Committee chaired by Prince Aboagye who is also the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Petroleum Commission sought legal advice from the party headquarters.
Garry Nimako who is the Secretary to the Constitution and Legal Committee of the NPP advised that elections for the two main positions be withheld as the party battles the cases in court.
All was set for the conduct of the elections on Wednesday 25th May 2022 but on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at about 4 pm, the party’s legal committee, the constituency, members of the constituency elections committee and the Electoral Commission were served with yet another injunction from some pro-supporters of the lawmaker for the area.
The National Organizer of the NPP currently the CEO of the National Lottery Authority, Sammy Awuku has declared his intention to contest for the MP position while the incumbent MP Ama Dokua Asiamah is seeking reelection for the third time.
