A High Court has dismissed an attempt by Kwame Baffoe, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, to end a defamation lawsuit. Mr. Baffoe is also known as Abronye DC.
Dr. Randy Abbey, the CEO of the Ghana Cocoa Board, filed the defamation suit against Mr. Baffoe. The court's decision means the lawsuit can continue.
Mr. Baffoe had asked the court to set aside the legal papers that started the case. He wanted the court to stop Dr. Abbey's claims against him.
The court, however, rejected Mr. Baffoe's request. Details of the original defamation claims have not been fully detailed in this report.
This ruling allows Dr. Abbey's legal action to move forward. The case will now be heard based on its merits.
The Judicial Service oversees these proceedings. The outcome will depend on the evidence presented by both sides in court.
