An Accra High Court has dismissed\u00a0a case\u00a0filed\u00a0b<\/span>y some members of the NDC in Klottey Korle constituency seeking to annul the results of the NDC’s parliamentary primary\u00a0in the area.<\/p>\n

The three; Joseph Narku Botchway, Jacob Amin and Reverend Michael Kwabena Nii Adjei Sowah went to court to challenge the eligibility of the Parliamentary candidate, Zanetor Rawlings who they allege is not a registered voter.<\/p>\n

According to the court, the plaintiff did not demonstrate in anyway how their rights had been violated or would be violated.<\/p>\n

\"IMG-20160115-WA0003\"<\/p>\n

The court also indicated in the ruling that the action of the plaintiffs were an abuse of the court.<\/p>\n

The ruling of the court followed an application by Lawyers of Dr. Zanetor Rawlings praying the court to strike out the case brought by the disgruntled members.<\/p>\n

\"IMG-20160115-WA0001\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It would be recalled that during the NDC\u2019s primary on November 21, Dr. Rawlings could not cast<\/a><\/strong><\/span> her ballot because her name was not found in the voters\u2019 register.<\/p>\n

Zanetor beat the incumbent MP Nii Armah Ashietey in a hotly contested race. Suggestions are that, those seeking Zanetor’s disqualification are being supported\u00a0by the incumbent MP.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs were praying the court to compel the EC to provide the following answers:<\/p>\n

1. Whether or not Dr. Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings is a registered voter.<\/p>\n

2. If so, when was the name entered on the National Biometric Voters\u2019 Register.<\/p>\n

3. The name of the Registration Officer.<\/p>\n

4. The date of registration.<\/p>\n

5. The time on which the name was entered on the roll as shown on the print out.<\/p>\n

6. The registration centre name.<\/p>\n

7. The registration code.<\/p>\n

8. The constituency within which the registration took place.<\/p>\n

9. The Voter\u2019s Identify Card number of Dr. Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings.<\/p>\n

10. Biometric finger print.<\/p>\n

11. The type of identification document used in the registration process.<\/p>\n

12. Copies of Form 1C that captured the data.<\/p>\n

13. Copies of Voter Register Form 1A<\/p>\n

14. Whether Dr. Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings\u2019 name has been publicly exhibited on any provisional Voters\u2019 Register.<\/p>\n

15. If so when?<\/p>\n

16. Please furnish the Court with the said Voters\u2019 Register.<\/p>\n

17. If the registration was during the limited registration period in 2014, a copy of the voter registration identification guarantee form.<\/p>\n

18. Copies of the registration team details Form 2A.<\/p>\n

19. Please furnish the Court with the final Biometric Voters\u2019 Register showing Dr. Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings\u2019 name.<\/p>\n
