The High Court in Accra has dismissed a lawsuit against Baba Jamal concerning the Ayawaso East by-election. The pressure group Democracy Hub filed the suit. They wanted to annul the National Democratic Congress NDC parliamentary primary.
Democracy Hub raised concerns about vote-buying during the primary. The court heard the case on Monday, March 2. The ruling was made by the High Court in Accra.
The court described the action brought by Democracy Hub as lacking merit. This decision effectively removes a legal challenge to Baba Jamal's candidacy.
This clearance means the Ayawaso East by-election can proceed as planned. The ruling was made by the Judicial Service.
