The MUSIGA election is enjoined by the court

The Electoral Commission of Ghana was to oversee the elections, which will be postponed while the court renders its decision in the matter.

Doe Kwablah Seyenam Nyamadi and Frederick Van Dyk, the plaintiffs in the legal action, are both MUSIGA members.

They are asking the court for an order of preliminary injunction to stop the elections from being held by MUSIGA (the first defendant), Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour), the second defendant, and the Electoral Commission (the third defendant).

The plaintiffs argue in their application that the first and second defendants and their executives have failed to produce proper accounts in violation of the MUSIGA Constitution.

Additionally, they claim that because the defendants have not provided accounts, they lack the authority to hold elections and install a new administration.

A governmental organization in charge of elections is the third defendant.
