Court dismisses Yellow Ghana’s injunction to halt EC’s ballot paper printing

An Accra High Court has dismissed an injunction application by the Yellow Ghana Movement aimed at halting the Electoral Commission (EC) from printing the Notice of Poll and ballot papers for the December 7 general election.

The court ruled on November 14 that the case lacked merit.

The application, filed by Martin Kpebu on behalf of disqualified presidential candidate Samuel Apea-Danquah, argued that the EC's decision to disqualify Apea-Danquah violated his rights by not specifying the grounds for disqualification or allowing him to correct errors.

The court's decision clears the way for the EC to continue preparing election materials.
