Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, flagbearer hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has filed an interlocutory injunction against the party’s upcoming presidential and parliamentary primaries slated for Saturday, May 13, 2023.

The lawsuit specifically named as respondents the General Secretary of the NDC, the Director of the Elections Directorate, along with fellow flagbearer hopefuls John Dramani Mahama and another contender, Kojo Bonsu.

According to the writ, the defendants have been commanded to enter their appearance within eight days of being served with the legal documents.
