The Odododiodio parliamentary primaries have been postponed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Functional Executive Committee (FEC) during a meeting on January 16, 2024.
The party’s general secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, revealed in a statement that he was the signatory to the court injunction that disqualified candidate Michael Nii Yarboi Annan obtained the reason for the decision.
The General Secretary announced that all primary-related activities in the constituency have been temporarily suspended due to the court’s injunction.
He claimed that rejected candidate Michael Annan filed a lawsuit against the party over his disqualification from the primaries; however, the party was granted an interlocutory injunction, which prohibits the NDC from holding the election until the problem is settled.
“We wish to inform you that the party was served with a notice of interlocutory injunction by a parliamentary candidate aspirant of the Odododiodoo constituency who was disqualified from contesting the primaries,” statement said.
The party requested that during this postponement, all branch and constituency executives maintain harmony and peace until the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) determined a new date.
Michael Nii Yarboi was disqualified by the National Democratic Congress’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC) from running in the Odododiodioo Constituency parliamentary elections.
According to a statement dated November 28, the decision was made following a meeting of the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) at the headquarters to receive the report of the Special Committee, which was established to look into the violence that took place at Odododiodioo Constituency on October 13, 2023, during the vetting of parliamentary candidates.
