The Supreme Court has thrown out an application seeking an injunction against J.H. Owusu-Acheampong from heading President John Mills’ flagbearer campaign team.
Civil Rights NGO, the Centre for Constitutional Order wanted the supreme to stop the Brong Ahafo Representative on the Council of State from active partisan politics.
It said the development if allowed would set a bad precedent.
But the country’s highest court ruled Thursday there is no express law that bars Mr. Acheampong from engaging in partisan politics whiles serving as a member of the Council of State.
In a reaction, J. H. Owusu Acheampong said he is not surprised with the ruling.
He told Joy News’ Elvis Adjetey there have been precedents set in the past which makes his appointment as head of the campaign team not unusual.
Meanwhile, the plaintiff Dennis Ofosu said he respects the decision taken by the Supreme Court.
He said with nine out 14 judges ruling unanimously on the case it will not be necessary to proceed on a review.
