Amasaman NPP Executives Run To court To Block Parliamentary Candidate From Filing Nomination

The party executives in a writ filed by their lawyer, Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo want the court to stop Akwasi Afrifa Mensah from holding himself out as the party’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency until a determination is made on the earlier suit. “A declaration

barring the said Akwasi Afrifa Mensah from holding himself out as the New Patriotic Party Parliamentary Candidate for the Amasaman Constituency until the final determination of Suit No. HR/0041/20.” Other reliefs sought by the party executives are; “An order of

interlocutory injunction restraining the Defendants from allowing the said Akwasi Afrifa Mensah purporting to be the New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for the Amasaman constituency from picking and filing nomination forms to contest the 2020 parliamentary elections in the Amasaman constituency in the manner

to be prescribed by the Defendants.” “An order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendants from allowing the said Akwasi Afrifa Mensah purporting to be the New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for the Amasaman constituency from picking and filling nomination forms to contest the 2020 parliamentary elections in the Amasaman constituency.” The NPP executives said should the EC proceed to allow Mr. Afrifa to pick nomination forms to contest in the parliamentary elections, the outcome of the pending suit will be useless.
