The General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwettey, announced on January 19 that the Accra High Court had dismissed the application for an interlocutory injunction. As a result, the party is now resuming the electoral processes leading up to the Odododiodioo parliamentary election. This decision comes after the disqualification of Michael Nii Yarboi Annan by the Functional Executive Committee of the NDC in November 2023, which led to the special committee’s findings.
The special committee, established by the Functional Executive Committee, justified the disqualification based on the party’s constitution, specifically Article 41(8)(b). This article stipulates that a member must be an active party member at the constituency level for the four years preceding the nomination filing date.
With the court injunction lifted, the party has cleared the way for the resumption of the primary in the Odododiodioo constituency. This will allow the over 2300 delegates to exercise their right to vote in selecting the NDC’s candidate for the parliamentary seat.
The decision to resume the electoral processes comes after the court’s dismissal of the injunction, and the party is now moving forward with the primary in the Odododiodioo constituency. This is a significant development for the NDC, as it allows the party to continue the democratic processes of selecting the candidate for the parliamentary election. The delegates in the Odododiodioo constituency now have the opportunity to participate in the primary and have their voices heard in determining the NDC’s candidate for the parliamentary seat.
Overall, the dismissal of the interlocutory injunction has paved the way for the NDC to move forward with the electoral processes. This decision marks a significant milestone for the party as it continues to adhere to its constitutional guidelines and uphold the principles of democracy within its ranks.
