NDC and Joana Gyan Cudjoe Sue EC Over Amenfi Central Election Disqualification

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Joana Gyan Cudjoe, the party’s parliamentary candidate for Amenfi Central Constituency in the Western North Region, have filed a lawsuit against the Electoral Commission (EC) over Mrs. Cudjoe’s disqualification from the upcoming December 7, 2024 parliamentary election.

The plaintiffs are also seeking an interlocutory injunction to prevent the EC from proceeding with the printing of the Notice of Poll and ballot papers for the Amenfi Central Parliamentary Election until the court resolves the matter. The motion, which was filed on October 17, 2024, follows the EC’s letter dated October 10, 2024, informing Mrs. Cudjoe of her disqualification from the race.

This legal move aims to halt the election preparations for the constituency until the court rules on the substantive issue of her disqualification.
