<\/p>\n
A KOFORIDUA High Court has dismissed a suit filed against two aspirants in the Akropong Constituency impending elections, describing it as unmeritorious.<\/p>\n
The plaintiff, Adum Acheampong, a former NPP Constituency Chairman of Akropong Constituency, was for the second time absent in court when the case was called. His counsel was also absent.<\/p>\n
A representative of the plaintiff sought audience with the court and pleaded for an adjournment as he claimed plaintiff was a bit under the weather but the court, presided over by Justice Senyo Amedahie, rejected the plea for another adjournment.<\/p>\n
The suit had challenged the eligibility of Julius Akuffo and Linda Dankwa to contest for any position in the Constituency on the tickets of the NPP.<\/p>\n
The court found no merit in the claims against the defendants and accordingly dismissed the suit for want of prosecution.<\/p>\n
The Defendants \u2014 NPP, Julius Akuffo Djan and Linda Darkwa who were represented by Lawyer Gary Nimako Marfo were however, present in court.<\/p>\n
In a related development, another division of the Koforidua High Court in a case presided over by His Lordship Nana Yaw Gyamfi Frimpong, has dismissed an injunction placed on the Akropong North Constituency elections.<\/p>\n
The injunction was filed by two petitioners, Emelia Awuku of Larteh Akaade Number One and Godfred Ampadu of Daakye Akropong.<\/p>\n
The petitioners before the court ruling today had filed a process to strike out the case at the court.<\/p>\n
Regardless, counsel for the defendants, Gary Nimako, insisted that the case be properly dismissed by the court for the sake of clarity and directions.<\/p>\n
The presiding judge accordingly dismissed the injunction suit, paving way for the conduct of the long awaited Akropong Constituency NPP elections.<\/p>\n
