General News of Wednesday, 2 February 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comInjunction application was granted by the Supreme CourtSeven Justices granted the applicationThe application was against the Assin North MPA seven-member Supreme Court Justices granted an injunction application against the Assin North NDC MP, James Gyakye Quayson, after a member of the governing NPP prayed to the Court to bar the MP from holding himself as a parliamentarian. The High Court had ruled on August 4, 2021, that, the NDC MP at the time of filing his documents to contest the election in Assin North, still held allegiance to another country other than Ghana. But the MP appealed the decision and prayed that the Appeals Court suspends the execution of a high court order that seeks to remove him as an elected Member of Parliament. Quayson, through his lawyers, argued that “if the execution of the judgement is not stayed, the people of the Assin North Constituency will lack representation in Parliament for a significant period. “If the High Court decision does not stay, it could give rise to considerable political tension in the Assin North Constituency and possible disturbances of the peace.”
