The Amasaman High Court has granted an interim injunction against the National Democratic Congress (NDC’s) newly elected National Youth Organiser, George Opare Addo aka Pablo, to prevent him from holding himself as the party’s duly elected Youth Organiser.
The injunction also prevents the party, the NDC Planning Committee Chairman, Alex Segbefia, the NDC Acting Director of Elections, Daniel Amartey and the Electoral Commission from seeking to swear-in Pablo as the party’s new National Youth Organiser.
The injunction was secured by the defeated National Youth Organiser aspirant, Yaw Brogya Genfi.
|I was granted after the court heard an application for interim injunction brought by Brogya Genfi, a contestant in the just-ended National Youth Organizer election of the NDC, the TEIN President of UPSA, Ibrahim Rashid and Paul Amaldago, TEIN President for the University of Ghana, Legon, who are challenging the legality of George Opare Addo’s election on grounds that same violated two expressed orders/decisions of the High Court and the expressed directives of the National Democratic Congress.
The plaintiffs have filed a Writ of Summons, seeking the annulment of the just-ended National Youth Organizer election on the basis that 22 TEIN President delegates who by the expressed orders of the High Court were supposed to vote in the elections, were excluded and/or prevented from participating in the elections and that 17 persons who were not supposed to participate in the elections were rather allowed to vote.
The plaintiffs are of the view that given the fact that the margin between the two candidates was only 25 votes, the said illegalities and infractions constituting 39 votes, significantly impacted the outcome of the elections.
Pablo won the hotly contested December 10th elections by 533 votes to 508.
