2024 election: Court injuncts Cynthia Morrison

The Agona Swedru District Court has injuncted Agona West Member of Parliament, Cynthia Morrison from holding himself as an independent parliamentary candidate in the 2024 election.

The court has also restrained the Electoral Commission(EC) from proceeding with the nomination of Madam Morrison as an independent Candidate until the matter is fully determined.

This follows an application filed by Emmanuel Addison, Solomon Nyarko and Harrison A. Aglago who are all National Democratic Congress (NDC) Branch Executive in the Agona West Constituency.


Madam Morrison has served for eight years on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after first being elected in 2016.

However, the former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection on April 12, 2024, lost the NPP parliamentary primary and has since decided to contest as an independent candidate.

She garnered 152 votes, while Christopher Arthur emerged victorious with 240 votes.
