The Human Rights Court in Accra has dismissed a case filed by the former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Paul Awentimi Afoko against the party.
The court delivered its final ruling on the dispute between the embattled former Chairman and the NPP.
The court presided over by Justice Anthony Yeboah stated that the party's National Executive Committee’s acted lawfully by consenting to the recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee to suspend him.
According to Peace FM’s Reporter Agya Kwabena, the court held that the case brought before it by the suspended Chairman had no justification, and therefore refused to grant the plaintiff any of the reliefs (8) he sought.
The suspended Chairman sued the party in December last year, claiming his suspension was a breach of the NPP's constitution.
He further filed a joint suit against the party's Acting Chairman, Freddie Blay.
Mr. Afoko prayed the court to challenge the constitutional right of the party's Disciplinary Committee to suspend him.
The court on Monday, August 15, 2016 dismissed Mr. Afoko's which therefore paves way for the NPP to effectively campaign for Election 2016 without any legal blocks from the former Chairman. |
