The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) polling station elections in the Bunkpurugu Constituency slated for Monday, May 10 and 15 May has been halted until 10 days.

The High Court in Bunkpurugu issued the ruling on Friday, May 8, after Konlan Yenuyiab and 16 others filed for an injunction against the NPP and another respondent.

According to the defendants, there appeared to be breaches of the party’s internal rules and possible violations of natural justice.

After reviewing the affidavit evidence and hearing arguments from counsel for the applicants, Solomon Biitian Damtar, Presiding Judge Justice Samuel Bright Acquah granted the injunction.

The court concluded that moving forward with the elections could cause irreparable harm and nullify any future ruling.

The polling station executive elections are a key part of the NPP’s internal electoral timetable, meant to reorganize the party’s grassroots base and improve its operational efficiency.

This year’s nomination was opened across the country, on April 20 and closed on April 24.
