Supreme Court Gives Amewu The Green Light To Go To Parliament After Quashing Injunction Against Him

The Supreme Court has by a unanimous decision quashed a decision of the Ho High Court, granting an interim injunction to stop the Electoral Commission from gazetting the 2020 Parliamentary election results of the Hohoe Constituency.

The five-member panel presided over by Justice Yaw Appaw held that the application of the interested parties from their own submissions both at the High Court in Ho and at the Supreme Court suggests that they were seeking the enforcement of their fundamental human rights to vote in the elections organized by the Electoral Commission.

To this end, there is no justifiable reason why the election of the MP-elect for the Hohoe Constituency, John Peter Amewu, should be a matter of contention to necessitate an interim injunction order to stop the gazetting of the results.
