A Kumasi High Court has granted an interlocutory injunction against Kwame Asafo-Agyei Ayeh, restraining him from presenting himself as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Bosome Freho Constituency ahead of elections 2024.
Yaw Amoah Gyamih, Chairman of the NPP’s Council of Elders in the constituency, filed the suit, arguing that Asafo-Agyei Ayeh does not meet the party’s eligibility criteria to lead the party at the constituency level in the general elections.
Specifically, Gyamih claims that Asafo-Agyei Ayeh is not a native of the constituency and has not lived there for the past five years, making him ineligible to lead the party.
Gyamih, a veteran party member, alleges that Asafo-Agyei Ayeh has never worked with the party and is unfamiliar with its rules and regulations.
He is urging the court to compel the party to follow its own rules, as all attempts to get the party to do so have been unsuccessful.
The court’s decision has significant implications for the NPP’s parliamentary candidacy in the Bosome Freho Constituency ahead of the December 2024 general election.
The injunction effectively bars Asafo-Agyei Ayeh from campaigning or holding himself out as the NPP’s candidate until the matter is resolved.
