Two members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) have filed an injunction on the ongoing polling station executives and electoral area coordinators’ election in the New Juaben North Constituency.
The complaints, Levina Agyapong of Asokore and Bright Oppong of Effiduase have sued the Eastern Regional Chairman of the NPP; Kingston Kissi and the New Juaben North Constituency Secretary; Asante Antwi.
They are praying for an order from the court to cancel the whole electioneering process since it has been smeared with irregularities.
They are also seeking an order of the court directing the defendants who are in charge of the nomination forms for the polling station and electoral area coordinators election to make the same available for all eligible members.
The plaintiffs also want the court to direct that the Regional and National Executives should take charge of the sale of the form and a declaration that no prospective aspirant shall be denied access to the purchase of the application forms by the committee.
The New Juaben North is one of the constituencies whose polling station executive elections has been characterised with so many controversies due to perceived personal interests within the constituency.
Constituency Secretary Mr Antwi confirmed receipt of the notice of injunction and disclosed that same has been forwarded to their Lawyers for advice.
