The National Democratic Congress (NDC) plans to file a restraining order to prevent the swearing-in of three New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament-elect. This legal action arises from allegations of electoral misconduct during the December 2020 parliamentary elections, particularly concerning the results in the Assin North, Fomena, and Ayawaso West Wuogon constituencies.
The NDC argues that these alleged irregularities undermine the legitimacy of the election outcomes for these MPs. They believe that addressing these issues through legal means is essential to uphold democratic principles and ensure fair representation in Parliament. The party's leadership emphasizes their commitment to challenging any perceived injustices within the electoral process.
As tensions rise over this matter, both parties are preparing for potential legal battles that could impact the composition of Parliament. The NDC's move reflects broader concerns about electoral integrity in Ghana and highlights ongoing political rivalries as they seek to navigate a contentious post-election landscape.
