The desire of Emmanuel Jones Mensah, known popularly as Kojo Jones, to contest the upcoming parliamentary primary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has hit a major setback.

The decision to put his eligibility to contest on hold follows the findings of a special committee set up to determine appeals presented to the party's vetting committees.

NDC Functional Executive Committee to take a decision soon

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh understands that the NDC FEC will soon announce a final decision on Kojo Jones' situation soon.

Whatever decision the party would take would depend on a report from the party official who is responsible for the maintenance of the party's database.

Kojo Jones' legal team have since rejected the claim that his name is not in the party's database.

His lawyer E.L Agbemava has stated the following:

“The supposed petition[against Kojo Jones], alleges some membership registration irregularities on the part of our client in the Keta and Ashaiman Constituencies but we on behalf of our client categorically deny all the allegations against him and urge the Vetting Committee to dismiss them as being false, malicious and misleading”.
