There will be NDC primaries with or without EC - Asiedu Nketiah
The President of the Democratic National Congress and the Legislature will continue as scheduled even though the election is not taking care of them, National President Johnson Asiedu Nketiah said.
He told reporters on FridayMay 12, 2023 that Saturday'sevent will not be postponed. "We have a contractual agreement with the EC, but if they don't manage our primary school, we will use our internal building to run the primaries," said Nketiah.
He said that the electoralmanagement officials are "authorized to oversee our primaries", revealing: "We had a discussion with the EC this morning to send everything". \"Even we assured them that equipment will be delivered if they encounter any problem.\"
“We have to take responsibility for our election. Elections will definitely happen," said Nketiah.
Mr. Nketia's speech followed the withdrawal of the petition for summary judgment he filed against the party's election onSaturday, May 13, 2023. Hislawyers filed to have him removed from the case on Friday, May 12, 2023.
The former finance minister on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, filed a warrant for some insults he had in the internal election processof the largest opposition party. Among other things, he wantshis party to have a complete photo record, at least five weeks before the primaries.
He argued that data from only 220 out of 275 districts hasbeen verified. He said that a special list was created of 74,799 which could not be verified due to lack of information.
"With no reason to believe,3,910 were eligible to vote in 220 constituencies," said Dr Duffuor's brief. However, the group, in response, said, "We maintain that the plaintiffs do not have the right, therefore, it will be dismissed in the end."
"Furthermore, the plaintiff cannot demonstrate by his pleadings and pleadings that it is just or proper for this honorable court to grant the order he seeks." "Therefore, wepray that the court immediately rejects the request."
The group added, "What we respectfully find is that the complainant could not prove that due to the NDC'sguidelines for presidential elections and the NDC constitution, he is entitled to receive the photo album which the NDC refused to give him the same."
"There is no provision broughtby the plaintiff to support his claim", the party said. Thelawyers responded, "Actually,Article 42 of the NDC constitution deals with the election of presidential candidates," explaining, "In thisprovision, nowhere is it saidthat who running for president in that race has the right to geta photo." .
\" This is the case, the plaintiff cannot claim that his rights willbe violated or violated, therefore, deserves the protection of this court. "Ourhumble opinion is that the plaintiff, having failed to establish a legal right, the present claim must be dismissed as frivolous."
