Don\u2019t forget that this matter when it came to Gary Nimako, who is the vetting committee chairman, referred the matter to NEC, and that was an appropriate conduct, and NEC passed it and took a position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the applicant has withdrawn the case, making way for Kennedy Kankam to contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe received some court processes, subsequently, we have also received a notice from the said person that they are no more interested in pursuing the matter. This gives the party the green light to conduct elections in the Nhyiase constituency. NEC at its last meeting cleared Hon.
