Court places injunction on GFA election

An Accra Fast Track Court Thursday placed an interim injunction on the Ghana Football Association’s Presidential Election, which was slated for the 18th of August in Tamale.

Accra-based Citi FM reported that Justice Mustapha Logo issued the injunction after receiving an ex-parte motion filed by one lawyer Bright to restrain the Ghana Football Association from holding the Presidential Elections.

Lawyer Bright, the report noted, argued that according to the GFA’s Statutes, the Presidential Elections are supposed to be held after the district and regional elections, but the GFA’s calender for September showed that the presidential elections were going to be held before the district and regional elections.

Justice Logo is said to have granted the injunction after he was presented with copies of the GFA’s constitution which confirmed Lawyer Bright’s case.

The court asked the GFA to appear in 10 days to respond to the motion filed.
