The Court of Appeal has refused a request from Kennedy Agyapong. This request aimed to stop a defamation case against him.
The case was brought by Kwesi Twum, the CEO of Multimedia Group. The Multimedia Group and Joy FM are also part of the lawsuit.
This marks the second time Mr. Agyapong has sought to halt the proceedings. The court's decision was delivered Tuesday morning.
A panel of Justices heard the case. Justices Angelina Mensah Homiah and Emmanuel [redacted] were among those on the panel.
The defamation lawsuit is proceeding in the courts. This ruling allows the case to move forward.
Mr. Agyapong, a former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, was a candidate in the NPP flagbearer elections.
The details of the comments made that led to the defamation claim have not been fully detailed in the court filing.
This legal action involves a media company and a prominent political figure. The outcome could set precedents for defamation cases in Ghana.
