A court injunction was placed on voting in the Asante Akyem North constituency in the Ashanti Region in the run-up to the NPP’s parliamentary primaries on Saturday.
As a result of the court injunction, no voting was to be undertaken in all the 22 electoral areas in the constituency.
The injunction was due to the omission of some 145 delegates from the delegates’ album.
