The Koforidua High Court 3 is set to deliver a ruling today on an application seeking to lift an interim injunction barring the swearing-in of Ernest Yaw Kumi as the Member of Parliament-elect for Akwatia.
The injunction had prevented his swearing-in during the midnight inauguration of January 7, 2024.
The ruling was deferred on Sunday after the court sat to hear arguments.
Last week, the Koforidua High Court issued the injunction following a lawsuit filed by Henry Boakye-Yiadom, the NDC parliamentary candidate. The suit, filed against the Electoral Commission (EC), Ernest Yaw Kumi, and the Clerk to Parliament, challenges the EC’s declaration of Mr. Kumi as the winner with 19,269 votes, compared to Mr. Boakye-Yiadom’s 17,206 votes.
Application to also set aside writ of summon and certiorari against Kwame Appiah Kodua NPP MP elect wikk also be heard today.
