The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Amenfi Central, Joana Cudjoe, has expressed joy over the Sekondi High Court’s ruling on the injunction against her candidature.
On Monday, the court lifted the injunction that had barred Madam Cudjoe from contesting the December 7 parliamentary election.
The injunction stemmed from a legal dispute following Cudjoe’s victory in the NDC’s May 2023 parliamentary primaries, where she won decisively.
The court, presided over by His Lordship George K. Gyan-Kontoh, ruled that the original grounds for the injunction had changed, especially since the NDC had annulled the contested May primary and conducted a fresh election.
Addressing the media after the hearing, she stated that she feels vindicated by the ruling and is grateful to God.
“We thank God for everything that has happened today, especially my new lawyers who came in to rescue me. I thank God and all the NDC members, executives, and all the Western Region NDC. I must say I am very happy,” she said.
She encouraged her supporters to celebrate the victory as she announced plans to officially hit the ground to retain the seat for the NDC.
“I have done no wrong. My only wrong was contesting and winning an election, and God indeed has proven people wrong. So I am coming home, and we will do our campaign launch and proceed with all we have to do. I know people are awaiting my arrival, so they should make merry because God has made this happen,” she added.
