The President of the National Union of Ghana Students, NUGS, Emmanuel Boakye-Yiadom, has confirmed that the swearing-in of newly-elected executives will be held today, contrary to rumours that the swearing-in has been put on hold.
An Accra High Court granted an interlocutory injunction against the swearing-in of the new executives. According to the applicant, who is a member of NUGS, Daniel Owusu Baffoe, the elections were held in contradiction to the principles of the constitution of the Union.
The applicant is also praying the court to restrain elected national executives from holding themselves out as affirmed officers of NUGS. However, speaking to GBC News, Mr. Boakye-Yiadom, said they have not been served with any document suggesting any illegality of swearing in the newly-elected executives and until they are served, the Union will go ahead with its initial plans.
