The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has disclosed that the court has fixed Friday, May 12, 2023, as the hearing date for an injunction filed by the disgruntled Dr Kwabena Duffour seeking to put on hold the NDC parliamentary and presidential primaries,
A Deputy Communications Officer of the NDC, Mr Godwin Ako Gunn confirmed this when he was speaking in an interview on XYZ Television on Wednesday, May 10, 2023.
He added that the hearing of the Injunction has shifted to this Friday but not Monday, May 15, 2023
Just four days before the NDC primaries, Dr. Kwabena Duffour has filed an interlocutory injunction against the party's upcoming presidential and parliamentary primaries.
The lawsuit specifically named the General Secretary of the NDC, the Director of the Elections Directorate, along with fellow flagbearer hopefuls John Dramani Mahama and another contender, Kojo Bonsu as respondents.
According to the writ, the defendants have been commanded to enter their appearance within eight days of being served with the legal documents.
The writ added that failure to comply with the order may result in a judgment being passed in their absence without further notice.
Based on this development, the court has scheduled May 12 for the hearing, which will be after the elections.
Earlier, the Director of Legal Affairs of the NDC, Abraham Amaliba, described the writ as frivolous, vexatious, and an attempt to thwart the efforts of the party in the organization of the primaries.
“If the parties are minded and Dr Duffuor is ready, we can have a discussion around the issue that he has raised which are no issues at all, and then if that is possible, we can reach an amicable settlement but for me, this writ is frivolous, vexatious and an attempt to thwart the efforts of the party in the organization of the primaries, quoted Abraham Amaliba.
