Fifi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that the requests put forth by Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s team have been addressed.
Mr Kwetey explained that the primary demand of the presidential aspirant was for access to a delegates’ list, which has now been resolved.
He shared this information while responding to questions from journalists at the Accra Court Complex following the hearing of Dr. Duffuor’s case on May 12, 2023.
“Yes, it’s been satisfied. The delegates’ list is the main, primary document that we are depending on and this list has been ready, made available to all the contestants,” he stated.
Fifi Kwetey also stated that with that done, they, as a party, concluded ahead of the withdrawal of the case by the lawyers of the former Minister of Finance, that there was no case at all.
He also expressed his gratitude at the fact that the Duffuor team decided to unilaterally withdraw the case.
“So, really, as far as we are concerned, there was no case to begin with, but we are happy they decided to withdraw it,” he added.
Earlier, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor filed a case in court on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, for an interlocutory injunction on the NDC primaries slated for Saturday, May 13, 2023.
He cited anomalies with the NDC’s electoral album for his suit, following it up with a petition to the Electoral Commission. But on Friday, his lawyers withdrew the injunction case.
