The court's decision follows internal disagreements over the selection and legitimacy of the additional members, revealing deep divisions within the party. Presided over by Justice Samuel Bright Acquah, the court granted an ex parte application filed by Safianu Akunloya Akukua and six others against the NDC and seven other defendants.",
