The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced the rescheduling of its parliamentary primary in the Odododiodioo constituency to January 21, 2024.

This decision comes after the dismissal of an application for an interlocutory injunction obtained by a disqualified candidate, leading to the indefinite postponement of the election earlier.

General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwettey, stated in a Friday issued statement that, "an Accra High Court dismissed an application for an interlocutory injunction, as a result, the party is resuming processes leading up to the conduct of the parliamentary election in Odododiodioo."

The primaries at Ododioioo have consequently been rescheduled for Sunday, January 21, 2024.

Background:In November 2023, the Functional Executive Committee of the NDC disqualified Michael Nii Yarboi Annan from contesting in the Odododiodioo Constituency parliamentary election.

The party cited findings by a special committee that justified the disqualification based on Article 41(8)(b) of the NDC Constitution. This article requires a member to be an active party member at the constituency level for the four years immediately preceding the date of filing nominations.

The primary was initially postponed indefinitely due to a court injunction obtained by the disqualified candidate, but with the court's dismissal, the party has given clearance for the primary to proceed.
