2024 election: Court injuncts Cynthia MorrisonĀ 

-

The Agona Swedru District Court has injuncted Agona West Member of Parliament, Cynthia Morrison from holding herself as an independent parliamentary candidate in the 2024 election.

The court has also restrainedĀ the Electoral Commission(EC) from proceeding with the nomination of Madam Morrison as an independent Candidate until the matter is fully determined.

This follows an application filed by Emmanuel Addison, Solomon Nyarko and Harrison A. Aglago who are all National Democratic Congress (NDC) Branch Executive in the Agona West Constituency.

Madam Morrison has served for eight years on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after first being elected in 2016.

However, the former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection on April 12, 2024, lost the NPP parliamentary primary and has since decided to contest as an independent candidate.

She garnered 152 votes, while Christopher Arthur emerged victorious with 240 votes.

But the plaintiffs are arguing Cynthia Morrison is not a resident of Agona West but Agona East and therefore not eligible to contest the seat.
