An Accra Fast Track High Court will today hear an application seeking an interlocutory injunction on New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) congress to elect a flagbearer on October 18.<\/p>\n

Two \u00a0members of the party, Rexford Agyei Frimpong and Oppong \u00a0Kyekyeku are seeking an order against the National Council to comply with the provision of the NPP constitution and fix a new date for the congress.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”pI0xdEDc0zSuaq5hfMzJwk7uviKbioft”]The suit came shortly after Alan Kyerematen and Addai Nimoh made calls for a review of the date for the elections to elect a flagbearer to lead the party in the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n

The two say the October 18 date will not give them ample time to reach the over 140,000 delegates<\/strong><\/span><\/a> across the country.<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo’s camp has in response to the call said that they don’t agree with the arguments from the two candidates because according to them, the situation is like a “90 minutes football game, we all have the same time to compete and win.”<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the court case Alan Kyeremanten begun his campaign tour<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>in the Northern Region over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile \u00a0citifmonline.com<\/strong> has gathered that the party is expected to hold another national executive committee meeting on Wednesday to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an Accra Fast track High Court has set September 30, 2014 to rule on a motion filed by the NPP praying the court to throw out an application filed by a member of the party David Hoezame.<\/p>\n

Hoezame is challenging the status of the national council of the party.<\/p>\n

According to the party led by its lead counsel Godfred Dame, the case brought before the court\u00a0was frivolous and lacked merit.<\/p>\n

He argued that Hoezame failed to adhere to the dictates of the constitution of the party which spells out clearly how grievances by members of the party should be dealt with.<\/p>\n

In August, a\u00a0Fast track High Court dismissed an application for an interim injunction<\/strong><\/span><\/a> against the party’s Super Delegates Congress.<\/p>\n
