The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party [NPP], Nana Obiri Boahen, has ruled out options of settling any party litigation in relation to the ongoing constituency polls in court.
According to Nana Obiri Boahen, all the legal issues emerging as a result of the party’s constituency elections across the country would be tabled before the party’s leadership in a meeting today[Monday].
“From Monday the National Leadership would meet to take a look at most of the cases pending before court and then we find a way forward. Nobody is interested in litigation, but where it becomes highly impossible and practically improbable to have the matter settle out of court, the only option is to go to court” he told Accra-based Citi FM.
The NPP constituency polls, have so far been marred by a number of litigation. Some aggrieved parties have taken legal action against individuals, and in some instances challenging some of the processes leading to the polls.
Reports captured in the weekend exercise say constituencies like Cape Coast South, Suame, Ahafo-Ano South among others, had the elections halted by court injunctions.
Meanwhile, the polls are expected to end on Tuesday, February 27.
