Court Places Injunction On The Intended Effutu NDC Protest Over Election Results
The Cape Coast High Court has placed injunction on the intended Effutu constituency NDC Demonstration.
The party in the Constituency had written to the police seeking to protest the results of the general election conducted last year.
But the Ghana Police Service had initially applied to the court for an Ex Parte injunction.
A statement by the high court said “This is to notify the general public that the Cape Coast High Court has placed an injunction on the much anticipated Effutu Constituency demonstration against the Electoral Commission of Ghana”.
The Effutu constituency, led by its 2020 parliamentary candidate, James Kofi Annan, and the constituency executives, had planned a massive demonstration against the Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission, in solidarity with their flag bearer, H. E. John Dramani Mahama, and also against what they call “the Effutu ECOWAS Register “ in the Effutu constituency.
They believe the Effutu constituency voters register is hugely over-bloated with voters imported from the neighbouring constituencies, and that the true winners of the 2020 parliamentary and presidential elections are James Kofi Annan and John Dramani Mahama respectfully, but for the Effutu ECOWAS register, and Jean Mensa’s lack of transparency in the declaration of the presidential results.
The intended demonstration was scheduled in Winneba for the coming Tuesday, January 5, 2021.
