The National Secretariat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has assured members and delegates that the party is taking all legitimate and legal steps to pave way for the presidential and parliamentary primaries on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
In a statement, the party said ‘we want to urge party members and the people of Ghana to remain calm as the party, through its legal team works to resolve the temporary challenge.
It will be recalled that Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, one of the three presidential aspirants on Tuesday filed a suit against the party seeking an injunction on the primaries as he believes executives of the party have failed to deliver a complete photo album register.
The injunction application also prevents the Electoral Commission from holding the primaries pending the production of a complete photo album register.
The statement signed by the general secretary, Fiifi Kwetey, indicated that the party as of April 20th, 2023 had made available the full Delegates List to all presidential candidates in line with our commitment stated in our guidelines that, this Primary Document, would be furnished to all presidential candidates.
“The party is therefore confident that, this temporary challenge will be quickly overcome to pave the way for the holding of the primaries on schedule”, the statement said.
It added that It is our expectation that we shall all put the larger interest of our great party ahead of all considerations knowing that the good people of Ghana are eagerly looking up to our party come December 7, 2024, to rescue this nation from the current national collapse.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has however withdrawn from organizing the elections as it waits for the court to resolve the issues
