Ho, May 20, GNA- A Ho High Court on Monday placed an interim injunction on the holding of the Ho Central constituency primaries of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This followed an application by Mr William Asorgoe and Mr Yaw Agbeli, Constituency Executives of the party in respect of an alleged disqualification of one Mr Ben Eleblu who sought to contest the Ho Central primaries of the Party.
In an affidavit the applicants cited Mr Kofi Attor, Director of International Relations of the Party, Mr Ludwig Hlodze, Deputy National Youth Organizer and Mr Asiedu Nketia, General Secretary as having commented that Mr Eleblu was disqualified following the vetting of him and Captain George Nfodjo (Rtd) the incumbent Member of Parliament.
The applicants said Mr Eleblu’s lawyers had written to the Flagbearer of the Party, Professor John Evans Atta Mills for thorough investigations into the matter before holding the primaries.
The affidavit said, while waiting for response from the Flagbearer and the National Executive Council of the Party there was information that the Party was preparing to conduct the primaries without investigating the matter.
It held that Mr Eleblu was a fully paid member of the party contrary to allegations that he was disqualified because he was not a paid up member of the party.
The applicants therefore prayed the Court to restrain Mr. Asiedu Nketia the Party’s General-Secretary, Mr Winfred Agbemakplido Ho Central Constituency Chairman and Captain Nfodjo (rtd) from going ahead with holding the primaries until the matter was thoroughly investigated in the interest of the party. 20 March 08
