The Action People’s Party (APP) parliamentary candidate for Akwatia, David Ankomah, has filed a suit at the High Court in a bid to stop the forthcoming by-election, slated for 2 September 2025.
Mr Ankomah, who was disqualified from the contest alongside his party over issues relating to a tax clearance certificate, insists the move forms part of a “grand scheme” to deliberately exclude him from the race.
“Because we believe in the rule of law in Ghana, our lawyers have filed a case at the High Court seeking an injunction, and the matter will be heard on 28 August. All we are seeking is justice,” he said.
The Akwatia by-election follows the death of the constituency’s Member of Parliament, Ernest Kumi, who passed away recently after a short illness.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have already intensified their campaigns in the constituency, with the NPP determined to retain the seat and the NDC keen to wrestle it away.
