The incumbent NDC Member of Parliament for the Klottey Korley Constituency, Nii Armah Ashitey has withdrawn a review motion filed to contend the Supreme Court ruling which said High Court Judge Justice Ackah Boafo lacked jurisdiction to hear his case.
Mr. Ashietey filed the application for judicial review of the Supreme Court’s ruling stopping the hearing of his case at the High Court.
The Supreme Court on May 19 quashed the jurisdiction of High Court Judge Justice Ackah Boafo to sit on the case.
Lawyer for the MP, Gary Nimako, had to finally withdraw the case after the Supreme Court punched holes in the suit.
Mr. Ashitey filed a suit in court late last year seeking a declaration that Dr Zanetor Rawlings’ election as a parliamentary Candidate elect for the Klottey-Korley Constituency is null and void and is of no effect as same violates the constitution of the NDC and the rules governing the conduct of the parliamentary primaries.
But Dr. Rawlings run to the Supreme Court which later ruled that the High Court did not have jurisdiction over the matter purely based on constitutional interpretation.
