Court places injunction on MUSIGA election

An Accra High Court has placed an interlocutory injunction on the upcoming Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) elections scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, August 8, 2023.

The elections, which was to be held under the supervision of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, will be on hold pending the final determination of the case by the court.

Plaintiffs in the legal action, Doe Kwablah Seyenam Nyamadi and Frederick Van Dyk, both members of MUSIGA, are praying the court for an order of interlcutory injunction to restrain MUSIGA (the first defendant), Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour), the second defendant; and the Electoral Commission(third defendant) from holding the elections.

In their application, the plaintiffs contend that contrary to the requirements of the MUSIGA Constitution, the first and second defendants and their executives have failed to render proper accounts.

They contend also that by not rendering accounts, the defendants are not competent to hold elections and hand over to a new executive.

The third defendant is a statutory institution responsible for elections.
