A Wenchi High Court in the Bono Region presided over by his Lordship, Justice Fredrick Arnold A. K. Nawurah has dismissed an applicant  for an interim injunction of the swearing-in of the Member of Parliament (MP)-elect for the Techiman South Constituency, Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah.

The suit was filed by the NDC's 2020 Parliamentary Candidate for the Constituency, Christopher Beyere, asking the court to restrain the Electoral Commission (EC) from gazetting Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah as Member of Parliament for the constituency.

The NDC has said that it won the Techiman South Parliamentary election but the Electoral Commission and the NPP connived to rid them of the success chalked in the election.

The party has allegedly provided evidence to back its claims that the party’s candidate Christopher Bayere Baasongti won the seat from the NPP.

Due to this, the opposition party ahead of the swearing-in of Members of Parliament (MP)-elect, applied for an injunction on the swearing-in of the NPP Candidate Martin Adjei Korsah.

However, in his judgement, the trial judge is quoted to have said”I shall refuse the Expert injunction application. I think the people of Techiman South needs a representative at the swearing in. To injunct the 1st respondent will be unfair.

At the end of the trial, if it is established that the election was not done properly, I shall make my orders. I hereby refuse the application”.
