Two members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Shamsudeen Iddrisu and Boateng Kwadwo, have filed a motion for an interlocutory injunction at the High Court in Accra, seeking to stop the party’s upcoming Extraordinary National Delegates Conference which is having tomorrow.
However, Chairman of the Accommodation Committee for the upcoming National Delegates Conference, Divine Otoo Agorhom, has revealed that no court injunction has been served on the party to halt the event.
The motion, filed on July 14, 2025, through their legal counsel, Agyemang Duah of CharisBrit Legal Consult, requests that the court restrain the NPP from holding the scheduled conference at the University of Ghana Stadium from today July 18 to 20, 2025.
The plaintiffs argue that the conference should be halted pending the final determination of a substantive legal challenge they have brought against the party.
The plaintiffs insist that tomorrow’s conference is in breach of certain party procedures and could prejudice the outcome of the ongoing case. They are, therefore, asking the court to preserve the status quo until the legal issues raised are addressed.
The application, filed under Order 25 of C.I. 47, also asks the court to grant any further orders it deems necessary to ensure fairness and justice in the matter.
As of the time of filing this report, the NPP had not issued an official response to the injunction application.
The Extraordinary Delegates Conference is a major event on the NPP’s political calendar, typically used to deliberate on key party matters and make high-level decisions. Any disruption could have significant implications for the party’s internal dynamics, especially with the 2028 elections on the horizon.
In an exclusive interview on Channel One Newsroom, Mr. Agorhom, who also serves as the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the party, dismissed the claims, stressing that the planning and preparations for the event are proceeding without any legal hindrance.
He assured that the committee remains focused on delivering a successful conference, with all logistical and accommodation arrangements firmly in place.
“We met even today, and as at the time I was leaving the stadium and as at the time I was leaving to your studio here, nothing of such has come to the notice of the committee.
“So as far as I am concerned, we have a conference coming on Saturday and nothing is changing. Nothing of such has come to our notice as we speak,” he stated.
