The court, presided over by His Lordship Krofa Addae, granted an application for dismissal filed by Gary Nimako Marfo, the New Patriotic Party’s Director of Legal Affairs.

Annoh Dompreh, who currently serves as the Minority Chief Whip, was elected to represent the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Constituency in the December 2024 polls. This ruling brings finality to any legal contestation regarding his parliamentary seat and is seen as a significant legal win for the NPP, reinforcing the legitimacy of Annoh Dompreh’s electoral mandate.
