NDC lawyers represent NPP plaintiffs
Political Affiliation was abandoned when the
plaintiffs who were seeking to place an injunction
on the New Patriotic Party's (NPP's) October 18
congress were represented by "hardcore fanatics"
of the ruling National Democratic Con­gress
(NDC), lawyers, David Annan and Eric Tieku.

This development at an Accra Fast Track High Court
on Friday, 26 September, 2014, stunned members of
the NPP and those present at the court, who
wondered why members of the NPP had employed the
services of lawyers of the NDC to push for a
postponement of the NPP presidential pri­mary to
elect its presiden­tial candidate for the 2016
elections.

According to eyewit­nesses, throughout the entire
sitting, Lawyer David Annan, who was seated
directly behind his NDC colleague and lead
counsel, Eric Tieku, was seen guiding and
instruct­ing him (Tieku) on the arguments to be
advanced on behalf of the plaintiffs, Rexford
Agyei Frimpong and Oppong Kyekyeku.

Sources at the court also indicated that
pro­ceedings were interrupted on several
occasions as David Annan passed on handwritten
notes to aid Eric Tieku - an occurrence which
counsel for the NPP, Godfred Dame, drew the
attention of the sitting judge, Justice Mustapha
Habib Logoh, on.

It will be recalled that Rexford Agyei Frimpong
and Oppong Kyekyeku sent an application praying
for an injunction to be placed on the October 18
primary two clear days after Mr. Alan Kyerematen -
the leading contender to Nana Akufo-Addo - at his
campaign launch, through Nana Ohene Ntow and Dr.
Richard Anane, gave explicit warning to the NPP to
extend the date of the congress, threatening that
failure to do so would result in a law suit
against the party.

Justice Habib Logoh will on Friday, 3 October,
2014, rule on the applica­tion filed by the
plaintiffs.
