Koforidua High Court has dismissed an election petition challenging the election of Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Member of Parliament for the Nsawam-Adoagyiri constituency, in the 2024 general election.
The decision came after an application filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Director of Legal Affairs, Gary Nimako Marfo, was reviewed and upheld.
Presiding judge, His Lordship Krofa Addae, ruled in favour of an application to dismiss the case. He said the court found no merit in the petitioner’s claims and held that the results, as declared by the Electoral Commission, reflected the true will of the people.
As part of the judgment, the court awarded a cost of GH¢25,000 against the petitioner.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh, who currently serves as the Minority Chief Whip in Parliament, welcomed the court’s decision, viewing it as a vindication of both his electoral victory and the confidence reposed in him by the electorate of Nsawam-Adoagyiri.
The plaintiff in the case is Amenorpe Philibert Fummey, the parliamentary candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
