Leader of the Yellow Ghana movement, Samuel Apea-Danquah, has filed an interlocutory injunction to stop the Electoral Commission (EC) from printing the notice of poll and ballot papers ahead of the December 7 general elections.
His lawyer, Martin Kpebu is requesting the court to rule that the EC’s decision, outlined in a letter dated September 20, 2024, disqualifying Apea-Danquah from the 2024 Presidential election without specifying the grounds or offering him a hearing, is a violation of his right to a fair hearing.
The applicant is also seeking a declaration that his disqualification is unlawful, arguing that it violates several constitutional provisions, including Articles 12, 21, 23, 34, 35, 37, 40, 41, and 55 of the 1992 Constitution, as well as Regulation 9 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (C.I.127).
Apea-Danquah, along with Bernard Mornah of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Janet Nabla of the People’s National Party (PNP) and eight other candidates were disqualified.
