NDC Swears In George Opare Addo As Youth Organiser Despite Injunction Secured By Brogya Genfi
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported in a previous story that despite the court injunction restraining the National Democratic Congress from swearing in George Opare Addo as National Youth Organiser, the party went ahead to do that.
George Opare Addo was sworn in along with other new national executives of the NDC on Sunday, December 18, 2022.
He was sworn into office after the opposition party’s 10th national delegates congress held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, December 17, 2022.
The Amasaman High Court had granted an interim interlocutory injunction against the outcome of NDC’s National Youth Organiser’s election because Genfi alleged that some 22 people were prevented from casting their ballots while some 17 others who were not eligible to vote were made to cast the vote.
In the polls held on December 10, 2022, in Cape Coast, the incumbent George Opare Addo polled 25 votes more than Brogya Genfi who obtained 533 votes.
Brogya Genfi said the closeness of the results makes his claims worth exploring to remove any doubts about the fairness of the process.
