Sekondi High Court Clears NDC’s Joana Cudjoe To Contest Amenfi Central Seat

Spread the love

The Sekondi High Court has set aside the injunction that prevented Joana Gyan Cudjoe, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Amenfi Central, from contesting the upcoming parliamentary election.

The ruling, delivered on Monday, November 11, 2024, followed an earlier adjournment in the case, where the NDC sought for the court to lift the injunction on its candidate and dismiss the substantive disqualification.

The case was presided over by His Lordship George K. Gyan-Kontoh.

On the previous occasion, the court had adjourned the application after a request by Edudzie Tamakloe, one of the lead counsels representing Joana Gyan Cudjoe.

Tamakloe urged the court to consider the substantive disqualification case, noting that any further delay could disenfranchise his client and prevent her from participating in the December 7 parliamentary election.

His Lordship Gyan-Kontoh agreed to review the substantive case, emphasizing the importance of resolving the matter promptly. He also encouraged the parties involved to explore the possibility of an out-of-court settlement before the scheduled hearing.

However, negotiations for an out-of-court resolution did not materialize, and today’s ruling lifted the injunction, allowing Joana Gyan Cudjoe to proceed with her candidacy.

The case has now been resolved in time for the upcoming elections, clearing the path for the NDC candidate to contest the Amenfi Central seat.

Addressing the media after the court ruling, Cudjoe noted “We thank God for everything that has happened today especially also my new lawyers who came in to rescue me…I thank God and all the NDC members, executives, all the Western region NDC. I must say I am very happy.”
