The NDC MP for Assin North, James Gyakye Quayson has petitioned the Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin Yeboah to cause the trial judge hearing the dual citizenship case involving him to recuse himself.
According to Mr Quayson, the trial judge, Justice Kwasi Boakye has allegedly made comments which are prejudicial to the case.
According to him, Justice Boakye had said that the appropriate time Article 94(2) of the 1992 Constitution kicks in is during the filing of nomination by an MP.
This allegation was dismissed by the judge when it was made because Abraham Amaliba, the lawyer for the NDC MP, who first made it, failed to show any evidence that Justice Boakye indeed made the comment on the 12th of April.
The case has been adjourned to June 8 when the MP, would have been served and would have found a new legal representation since Mr Amaliba has withdrawn.
