A District Magistrate Court at Agona Swedru in the Central Region has set aside an injunction against Cynthia Morrison’s candidacy as an independent parliamentary candidate for Agona West Constituency in the Central Region.
The injunction prevented her from presenting herself as a candidate until the court fully resolved an ongoing legal case.
Cynthia Morrison, who previously won the Agona West parliamentary seat for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2016 and 2020, decided to run independently after alleging that her party treated her unfairly during the internal primary for the 2024 election.
However, the plaintiff, Emmanuel Addison is challenging her capacity to contest in the constituency while she resides in the Agona East constituency.
A similar case was heard in 2020, which Hon. Morison won.
The lawyer for the MP, Ishmael Kofi Turkson, additionally filed a motion seeking the transfer of the case from the District Court to the High Court.
Hon. Morison, in an interview with the media, said she is not perturbed by the happenings.
The case has been adjourned to October 25, 2024.
