The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has submitted an injunction application aimed at stopping the Electoral Commission (EC) from proceeding with the printing of parliamentary ballot papers and notices of poll for the Amenfi Central constituency.

This legal move comes in response to the recent disqualification of Joana Gyan Cudjoe, the NDC’s parliamentary candidate, by the EC.

Her disqualification is based on an existing interlocutory injunction issued by the Sekondi High Court, which prevents the EC from recognizing Cudjoe as the NDC’s representative for the upcoming December 7 elections.

The court’s injunction is linked to an ongoing lawsuit that challenges Cudjoe’s eligibility to contest, a matter that remains unresolved, thereby preventing her participation in the parliamentary race.

The NDC argues that proceeding with the printing of ballot papers, despite the pending legal case, would undermine the legal process and violate the rights of their candidate.

In their court application, the NDC is seeking an order to restrain the EC from printing or distributing ballot materials for Amenfi Central until the legal matters surrounding Cudjoe’s disqualification are conclusively settled.
