The NDC had disqualified Annan from participating in the parliamentary election for the Odododiodioo Constituency based on findings by a special committee. The committee, established by the Functional Executive Committee of the party, concluded that Annan did not meet the qualification criteria outlined in Article 41(8)(b) of the NDC Constitution.
Article 41(8)(b) stipulates that a member must be an active party member at the constituency level for the four years immediately preceding the date of filing nominations. The court injunction obtained by the disqualified candidate initially led to the indefinite postponement of the primary.
With the court's dismissal, the NDC proceeded with the Odododiodioo constituency primary, resulting in Alfred Kotey Ashie securing the party's parliamentary candidacy.
The electoral victory positions him to represent the NDC in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
