Counsel for Bernard Amoah and two others has written to the Electoral Commission's Ashanti office about a July court order on Manhyia North.

Manhyia North: lawyers tell EC not to supervise NPP elections

Three plaintiffs' lawyers have urged the Electoral Commission not to supervise New Patriotic Party (NPP) elections in Manhyia North, citing a High Court order issued in July. In a letter dated November 6, Nana Obiri Boahen and Associates informed the Commission's Ashanti Regional Head about the injunction, which applies to the party's constituency officers' elections in the constituency.

The letter, which was also sent to the NPP's National Chairman, General Secretary, and Ashanti Regional Chairman, states that the order bars the defendants from holding elections and validating the Constituency Executives Album for Manhyia North. The plaintiffs claim that the defendants intend to proceed with the elections despite the court order and seek the Commission's assistance in refraining from supervising the electoral process.
