The organizer of the Sowutuom branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been granted bail amounting to GH¢10,000 while he awaits the outcome of an appeal. The decision follows a recent ruling by the Accra Circuit Court that convicted him on charges related to a violent altercation during an NDC event. The court had sentenced him to 120 days in prison, sparking controversy and calls for a review from party supporters and local leaders. In granting bail, the presiding judge emphasized the need for fairness and justice as the appeal process unfolds. Supporters of the organizer expressed relief at the ruling, viewing it as a positive step towards addressing what they believe is an unjust conviction. The case has drawn attention within political circles, raising concerns about how internal party disputes are managed and their implications on broader political dynamics. As tensions continue to simmer, all eyes will be on the appellate court’s proceedings in this high-profile case involving party leadership and community relations.
