The National Democratic Congress‘ Parliamentary Candidate for Cape Coast North, Dr. Mintah Nyarku has on Tuesday won a court case against the Electoral Commission and a resident who challenged him during the Voters’ Registration exercise.
It could be recalled that during the Electoral Commission’s voter registration exercise, Dr. Mintah Nyarku was challenged on grounds of not residing in the area he registered.
His Voter Identity Card was withdrawn after the Electoral Commission’s district committee comprising of the clergy, traditional rulers and representatives of political parties ruled against the Aspiring Lawmaker and stripped him of his candidature according to the electoral laws.
Dr. Mintah Nyarku then petitioned the court to revoke the Electoral Commission’s district committee for him to contest the Cape Coast North Parliamentary seat.
The court presided over by Justice Stephen Oppong has ordered the Electoral Commission to register Dr. Mintah Nyarku , the Cape Coast North Parliamentary Candidate. The court held that the applicant has made a strong case for mandamus against the Electoral Commission.
The Parliamentary Candidate was represented in court by Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe and a team of legal brains from the National Democratic Congress.
