The situation has led to months of contention between the NDC and the EC, as both sides hold firm to their interpretations of the court\u2019s mandate.<\/p>\n<p>The Accra High Court\u2019s recent dismissal of the NDC\u2019s October 17 injunction application hinged on its interpretation of the pending legal situation. In its ruling, the court noted that the EC\u2019s stance was aligned with other pending orders related to the matter, implying that any immediate action to halt the EC\u2019s printing process would be premature.<\/p>\n<p>However, the NDC has taken issue with this interpretation, asserting that the court\u2019s ruling was based on flawed reasoning. According to the party, the court relied on a previous injunction that they argued should no longer be relevant to the current circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>NDC\u2019s Deputy Director of Elections, Dr Tanko Rashid Computer, clarified the party\u2019s reasoning behind the latest legal filing, explaining that the judge\u2019s interpretation of the standing injunction left them no choice but to challenge it once again in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe heard the ruling alright but quickly, there was a caveat in the ruling, in the sense that the judge was referring to the old injunction that to him is still pending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo quickly, we instructed our lawyers to do the needful, I mean, by drafting a writ, a quick one. And fortunately, we were able to file a fresh one at the Sekondi High Court to vacate that whole injunction. And the Electoral Commission was duly served at their office in Takoradi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><br \/><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><br \/><strong>#CitiVerify<\/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<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has escalated its legal battle over the recognition of its parliamentary candidate for the Amenfi Central by filing a fresh writ at the Sekondi High Court.
