Gazette of Hohoe Parliamentary results will not affect court s order - Lawyer
Lawyer Nelson Kporha, Counsel for the applicants in the Hohoe Parliamentary election injunction case, says although the Electoral Commission (EC) has gazetted the Hohoe Parliamentary results it would not have any consequence on the restraining order from the Ho High Court.
He said restraining the EC from gazetting Hohoe MP-elect, John-Peter Amewu, was just one of the reliefs, disclosing that they were aware of the gazette before going to Court.
Mr Kporha, who is one of the Counsel s for applicants, secured an interim injunction restraining the EC from gazetting John-Peter Amewu, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament-elect for Hohoe.
