The granting of the application means the case has been moved five days early from its original date, and it is expected to be heard on the 25th of October 2016.
In the suit where Dr Papa Kwesi Ndoum is an exparte applicant, the PPP is seeking “an order of prohibition to restrain the EC from proceeding with balloting for position of presidential candidates for the 7th December elections."

The plaintiff is also seeking “a further order directed against the first respondent in her capacity as Returning Officer for presidential elections to grant the applicant the opportunity to amend and alter the one anomaly found in his nomination papers as well as accept his nomination papers as amended or altered to enable him contest as a Presidential Candidate for the 7th December 2016 elections.”
“And for such order or further as to this Honourable Court may deem fit,” the PPP’s application stated.
