Court places 10-day injunction on NPP elections
The injunction, which spans 10 days, was triggered by a suit brought before the court by two members of the party.
The elections will remain suspended until the substantive case is heard and determined.
No further details regarding the specific grievances raised in the suit have been made public at the time of publication.
The Sunyani East development adds to the legal scrutiny surrounding internal party processes ahead of the NPP's broader organisational activities.
Courts in Ghana have previously been called upon to adjudicate disputes over constituency-level elections, reflecting the competitive nature of grassroots party politics.
The Electoral Commission, which oversees such internal party elections, is among the parties named in the restraining order and is equally bound by the injunction.
