Akwatia MP-Elect injunted from being sworn in

The Koridua High Court has issued an interim injunction preventing Ernest Kumi from being sworn in as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Akwatia Constituency. This follows a highly contentious electoral process where results from Akwatia, along with other constituencies like Suhum, Nsawam, and Fanteakwa North, were relocated to the National Police Training School in Accra for final collation due to disputes and logistical challenges in the Eastern Region. Despite Ernest Kumi of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) being declared MP-elect, securing 19,269 votes against Henry Yiadom Boakye of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) with 17,206 votes, the NDC has vowed not  to accept the Electoral Commission’s decision, citing irregularities and lack of proper documentation.
