On Tuesday, February 25, the bailiff of the Koforidua High Court served a substituted order requiring Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, the Electoral Commission (EC), and the Clerk of Parliament to appear before the Court in Koforidua.
The order compels them to address an election petition filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which claims the Electoral Commission made an erroneous declaration in favor of Annoh-Dompreh.
The petition, led by NDC parliamentary candidate Fummey Selorm Philibert and his legal team, challenges the EC’s declaration of Annoh-Dompreh as the elected MP for Nsawam Adoagyiri.
The order was served to several locations, including the High Court, NPP office, Electoral Commission, police station, Main Lorry Station, Fawe FM, and selected information centers.
The next court date is scheduled for March 14, 2025.
On February 21, the Koforidua High Court granted an order for substituted service, directing that a writ of summons be served on the 1st respondent, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, through various public channels.
The order was issued after court bailiffs were unable to serve the Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri with the court summons.
Despite a previous directive for all possible means to be used, neither Annoh-Dompreh nor officials of the Electoral Commission at the Nsawam Adoagyiri Constituency appeared in court on January 23, 2025.
