The CPP asserts that neither Esther Osei nor any other individual has been duly elected through the party\u2019s established procedures for candidacy selection in the Ejisu Constituency.<\/p>\n<p>In its legal action, the CPP seeks a declaration affirming that the party\u2019s Central Committee has not endorsed Esther Osei or any other candidate to contest on behalf of the CPP in the Ejisu Constituency by-election.<\/p>\n<p>The party is praying the High Court to injunct the by-election until its claims and demands are determined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read the party\u2019s writ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) has filed an interlocutory injunction application against the Electoral Commission (EC) seeking to halt the Ejisu by-election.
