Dr Kwabena Duffuor, a banker-turned-politician, has filed a writ at the High Court in an attempt to stop the NDC's much-anticipated presidential and parliamentary primaries on May 13, 2023.

Dr Duffuor wants the Accra High Court to order a postponement of the primaries and direct the NDC to compile a better register for the party's delegates.
