The Wenchi High Court presided over by, Justice Fredrick Arnold Nawurah has dismissed the motion for an interim injunction seeking to restrain Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah from presenting himself to be sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Techiman South.
NDC 2020 Parliamentary Candidate for the Constituency, Christopher Beyere, had filed a suit asking the court to restrain the Electoral Commission (EC) from gazetting Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah as Member of Parliament for the constituency.
Justice Fredrick Arnold Nawurah stated in his ruling that he refused the ex parte injunction application because the people of Techiman South need a representative at the swearing-in.
He said injuncting the 1st respondent will be unfair. Justice Nawurah however noted that at the end of the trial, if it is established that the election was not done properly, he will make the necessary orders.
Lead counsel for Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah, Eric AnsahAnkama, expressed satisfaction with the ruling. The seat has been in contention by the two leading political parties NPP and NDC. The NDC insists there was no collation of results and has rejected the EC’s announcement of the NPP candidate as winner.
