Some aggrieved members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency of the Western Region have gone to court to stop the party’s planned polling station elections in the area.
The group is asking the High Court to place an interlocutory injunction on the ongoing processes, including the vetting of aspirants and all activities leading to the conduct of the elections.
The plaintiffs Sam Nathaniel Andoh, Samuel Kwaw Blay, Musah Abdulai, Charlotte Ghansah, Francis Ntsiful, Eric Bonney, Juliana Eshun, and Memunatu Abubakar Saddick want the Court to place an interlocutory injunction on the vetting of aspirants and the conduct of polling station elections in the Constituency.
In the motion on notice, the applicants are praying the Court to prevent the NPP in the Region; Francis Ndede Siah, the Western Regional NPP Chairman; Benjamin Assabill, the Tarkwa-Nsuaem NPP Constituency Chairman; Fuseini Amadu, the Tarkwa-Nsuaem NPP Constituency Secretary; and Anthony Aidoo, the NPP Western Regional Representative for the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency or their assigns or representatives
“From vetting or purporting to vet or continue to vet any candidate or aspirant or any person [and]from conducting, or purporting to conduct or holding or purporting to hold New Patriotic Party Polling Station Elections in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency, Western Region, or doing any activity or procedure or process relating to or emanating from the organization of New Patriotic Party Polling Station Elections in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Constituency in the Western Region,” it read in part.
Their quest to put the elections on hold stems from their dissatisfaction with the processes being undertaken by the party, which they believe do not respect the party’s guidelines and are being manipulated to favour some particular persons.
