Joseph Yamin, a former NDC Regional Secretary in the Ashanti Region, has filed an injunction application to prevent the ruling New Patriotic Party from holding its regional delegates conference at the Regional Coordinating Council.
Regional Coordinating Councils serve as Regional Ministers’ administrative offices as well as their official residences.
The NPP in the region had planned to hold the conference on Friday at the Regional Coordinating Council’s headquarters.
However, in an ex parte injunction application, Mr. Yamin requests that the court prevent the party from holding the conference at that location.
- The Central Region NPP elections have been halted due to a legal action.
- Punishing absentee MPs is incorrect; posterity will remember me for attempting to obstruct it – Muntaka
The court is expected to hear his argument today, Thursday.
But in what seems like a pre-emptive move, the election committee of the NPP has changed the venue from the Regional Coordinating Council to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
In an interview with Citi News, Secretary to the NPP’s Elections Committee in the Ashanti Region, Henry Kwabena Kokofu, indicated that the date for the conference has since been changed from Friday to Saturday.
“Yesterday [Thursday], the Committee had a meeting, and judging from developments from some few days back, we have reached a decision to change the venue from the RCC to the Kumasi Sports Stadium, and then also, instead of tomorrow [Friday], we are going for 28th, that is Saturday.”
“There were other decisions. All those arrangements were meant to be tentative. Going forward, we have made some variations here and there. ”
