A bailiff from the Koforidua High Court executed a substituted service order on Tuesday, February 25, instructing Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Nsawam Adoagyiri MP, as well as the Electoral Commission and the Clerk of Parliament, to appear before the court on March 14.

The directive stems from a petition filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), contesting the Electoral Commission’s declaration of Annoh-Dompreh as the duly elected MP.

Led by parliamentary candidate Fummey Selorm Philibert, the NDC’s legal team is challenging the credibility of the Electoral Commission’s announcement.

To ensure proper notification, court documents were posted at various locations, including the High Court, the NPP office, the Electoral Commission, the police station, the Main Lorry Station, Fawe FM, and selected community information centers.

Following multiple failed attempts to serve Annoh-Dompreh in person, the Koforidua High Court, on February 21, approved substituted service, authorizing alternative means of notification.

Despite previous instructions for extensive efforts to be made, both Annoh-Dompreh and Electoral Commission officials from Nsawam Adoagyiri failed to appear for the court session on January 23, 2025.
