The Kumasi High Court 6 has thrown out a case filed by some delegates in the Manhyia North Constituency of the \u00a0opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), seeking to place an injunction on the elected parliamentary candidate, Collins Owusu Amankwah.<\/p>\n
The case filed by 22 delegates in the constituency led by one\u00a0Sasu, was to stop the elected parliamentary nominee\u00a0from filing his nomination to be accepted by the Electoral Commission as the elected candidate in the upcoming polls in December.<\/p>\n
The plaintiffs prayed the court to set aside the recent primary that had the incumbent MP retained.<\/p>\n
However, at a sitting today [Monday], Justice Obeng Deiwuo threw out the application.\u00a0The lawyer for the accused pleaded the court to charge the delegates each, a fine of GH\u023c100 for damage caused.<\/p>\n
The case has thus been adjourned to Friday, September 23, 2016, for the lawyer’s plea to be heard.<\/p>\n
