The chances of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) in the Walewale Constituency of the North East Region are narrowing by the day following a protracted legal tussle over who becomes the party’s Parliamentary Candidate for the 2024 polls.

The NPP which has won the seat three times since 1992 is currently up in arms against itself as the National Democratic Congress(NDC) upscale efforts in snatching the seat from the home constituency of the Vice President.

The legal year ended earlier this week with the courts expected to resume in October 2024 with no end in sight of the raging tussle over who will represent the NPP.

In June this year, the High Court in Tamale issued an injunction against Dr. Mahama Tia Kabiru, barring him from presenting himself as the elected parliamentary candidate (PC) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Walewale constituency in the North East Region.

This decision, handed down to him by Justice Richard Kugyapaw, comes in response to a challenge to the election results by the sitting Member of Parliament (MP), Hajia Lariba Zuweratu.

In the worsening situation, the Electoral Commission has given up to September 13, 2024, as the deadline for candidates to file their nominations for the 2024 polls.
