A Fast Track High Court on Tuesday
adjourned to September 26 an interlocutory injunction filed against the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) congress scheduled for October 18 to elect the party’s
presidential candidate. Two
members of the party, Rexford Agyei Frimpong and Oppong Kyekyeku, have gone to
court to seek an order against the National Council to comply with the
provision of the NPP constitution and fix a new date for the congress. According to the two plaintiffs the October 18 date
will not give them ample time to reach the over 140,000 delegates across the
country. At the court, Mr. Eric Teiku,
counsel for the plaintiffs said they had just received an affidavit in
opposition filed by the Party and would need time to study the process. Mr. Andy Appiah-Kubi who represented the NPP did not
object to the request made by the plaintiffs. The court presided over by Mr. Justice Mustapha Habib
Logoh therefore adjourned the case to Sep, 26.
