A group named Democracy Hub has initiated legal action in the Accra High Court. The group wants to stop the upcoming by-election in Ayawaso East.
Democracy Hub alleges that the primary election for the National Democratic Congress involved vote buying. They also claim there was inducement during the candidate selection process.
These alleged actions, according to the group, undermine the electoral process. The lawsuit aims to prevent the by-election from proceeding.
The High Court will now review the arguments presented by Democracy Hub. The court will decide if there are sufficient grounds to halt the election.
The National Democratic Congress has not yet publicly responded to the allegations. The by-election is planned to fill a parliamentary seat.
