As one of the party's presidential candidates, Dr. Kwabena Duffour, has moved for an interlocutory injunction against the primaries, the NDC Presidential and Parliamentary primaries slated for Saturday, May 13, 2023, may or may not go as scheduled.
In order to avoid being held in contempt, the Electoral Commission says it will not oversee the primaries.
The Kwabena Duffuor Campaign Team wrote to the Commission earlier this week, claiming a number of mistakes and irregularities with the Register.
Based on this, the Commission determined that a meeting with the NDC Elections Committee and the representatives of the presidential aspirants was essential to discuss this issue and come to an agreement on how to proceed. Yesterday, we received a copy of the meeting minutes.
During a meeting on May 10 with the NDC Elections Committee, she stated that there was "an application for interlocutory injunction seeking to restrain the Commission from supervising the conduct of the presidential and parliamentary primaries due to the alleged anomalies with the register."
The primary elections will reportedly take place on May 12 or not, depending on the court's decision tomorrow, May 12.
Charles Owusu, a former head of the monitoring unit of the Forestry Commission, recommended Dr. Kwabena Duffour and the NDC accept the court's judgment as the party waits for the ruling.
It's true that you brought the case to court, but that doesn't mean you've won. Because he was aware that the primaries would take place on Saturday and had undertaken election preparations, he should accept the court's decision that these errors should be righted and the elections should proceed as scheduled. I'm certain.
He will not be prepared for the elections by the court. So, if he honestly believes success belongs to him, he should accept whatever the court decides. Accept the result regardless of how it turns out, he sternly warned Dr. Duffour.
