With just four days to the national delegates' congress of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), some members of the Ablekuma South Con¬stituency of the party have filed an interim injunction at an Accra Fast Track court to declare the selection of the 10 delegates to the party's forthcoming congress null and void, because it violates the party's constitution.They are also praying the court to place a perpetual injunction, restraining all the defendants from holding themselves as delegates of the Ablekuma South Constituency of the NPP.The plaintiffs are Mr Kwesi Ofori, Theophilous N.A. Tettey, Samuel Owusu Sar¬pong, Theresa Mensah, Emmanuel Amankwah, Sarah Bonnenney, Comfort Awinya, Dan Asare, Bernard Broce, Emberam and others.The defendants are Mr William Akakpo, Alhaji Abu, Nana Kilfi Yeboah, Ben Brown, Nii Adjiri Blankson, Salua Opoku, Cynthia Dufie, Emmanuel Addo, Catherine Ahen and Felix Yeboah.The plaintiffs are also seeking that the court would order the first defendants and the constituency executive committee to convene an extra-ordinary constituency delegates’ conference to elect the 10 delegates from the constituency to attend the December 22 national congress of the NPP.In an affidavit in support of the writ, the plaintiffs claim that the first defendant, who is also the chairman of the constituency, flouted the party's constitution by submitting names of his friends as delegates to the congress.It said the election of the delegates was clandestinely done on December 2, 2007 when the party was organising a national rally to introduce its aspirants at Kasoa.It said the plaintiff petitioned the national and regional executive of the party, a copy of which was published in the Daily Graphic on December 10, 2007, but all to no avail.It described the action of the first defendants as unconstitutional and a threat to the rule of law and democracy, and that in the best interest and unity of the party, the defendants must be restrained from going to the congress, for the right thing to be done. .The plaintiffs also claimed that the undemocratic manner by which the delegates were selected denied them and the Member of Parliament (MP) of the constituency, Ms Theresa Tagoe, the opportunity of being selected as delegates to the congress.
