A Koforidua High Court (Court Room 3) presided over by His Lordship Justice Senyo Amedahie has dismissed a suit filed against two Akropong Constituency impending election aspirants, describing it as unmeritorious.
The plaintiff, Mr. Adum Acheampong, a former NPP Constituency Chairman of Akropong Constituency was for the second time absent in court when the case was called.
Also absent was his Counsel.
A representative of the Plaintiff sought audience of the court and pleaded for an adjournment as he claimed plaintiff was a bit under the weather but the court rejected the plea for another adjournment.
The suit challenged the eligibility of Julius Akuffo and Linda Dankwa to contest for any position in the Constituency on the ticket of the NPP.
The court found no merit in the claims against the defendants and has accordingly dismissed the suit for want of liability.
The Defendants, NPP and the two others, Julius Akuffo Djan and Linda Darkwa who were represented by Lawyer Gary Nimako Marfo were however present in court.
