A High Court has ordered the New Patriotic Party to stop its executive election in the Sefwi Wiawso Constituency. The court issued this order on Friday, July 10, 2026.
The election halt is temporary. It is pending the court's decision on an application for an interlocutory injunction. This means the court will consider if the election should be stopped for a longer period.
The court case is identified as Suit Number WN/SW/HC/E12/35/2026. Seven plaintiffs have brought the case before the court.
The specific reasons for the injunction were not detailed in the court order. However, such applications are typically made when there are disputes over the election process or eligibility of candidates.
The Judicial Service issued the order. It directs the NPP to suspend all activities related to the Sefwi Wiawso constituency executive election.
This action by the court highlights the legal framework governing political party internal elections within Ghana.
Failure to comply with the court's order could lead to contempt of court charges for party officials.
The outcome of the injunction hearing will determine the future of the Sefwi Wiawso Constituency's NPP executive elections.
