Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, a flagbearer candidate, withdrew his lawsuit against the National Democratic Congress, allowing the party’s legislative and presidential primaries to proceed.
One of the three candidates for president, Dr. Duffuor, requested a court order on Tuesday prohibiting the party from holding the poll.
He justified his decision by citing concerns in his writ regarding, among other things, alleged irregularities in the party’s electoral roll.
However, the former Finance Minister abandoned his lawsuit on Friday in order to settle the problems internally. The case was subsequently dismissed by the court.
The action comes after Kojo Bonsu, an NDC flagbearer candidate, urged Dr. Duffuor to consider the party’s interests and drop his lawsuit challenging the party’s primary elections.
Dr. Duffuor should, in his opinion, make himself available to the Council of Elders, National Executives, and the Election Directorate so they may discuss and find a cooperative solution to his issues with the party’s current election procedures.
In preparation for the 2024 elections, the NDC is now anticipated to move on with its primaries on Saturday, May 13, to elect a flagbearer and parliamentary candidates.
