Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP, Frank Annoh-Dompreh
The Koforidua High Court has approved a substituted service order for the Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, in connection with an election petition filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The court ruled that after multiple unsuccessful attempts to serve the MP in person, alternative methods of service would be implemented.
As per the court’s directive, the writ will be served to Annoh-Dompreh through the following channels; the Nsawam-Adoagyiri High Court, the Koforidua High Court, a community radio station (Fawe FM), five information centers in Nsawam-Adoagyiri, three major public notice boards in the constituency, and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Constituency Office in Nsawam-Adoagyiri.
These measures will remain in effect for ten days to ensure that Annoh-Dompreh is duly informed about the election petition.
The court granted the substituted service order in recognition of the constitutional provision that restricts personal service to a sitting MP during parliamentary duties.
The case has been adjourned to March 14, 2025.
The NDC’s petition seeks to annul the 2024 parliamentary election results in the Nsawam-Adoagyiri constituency.
The party argues that the omission of results from certain polling stations significantly contributed to the defeat of their parliamentary candidate, Selorm Philibert Fummey Amenorpe.
Annoh-Dompreh was declared the winner of the 2024 parliamentary election in the constituency.
According to the Electoral Commission’s Returning Officer for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Annoh-Dompreh secured 29,660 votes, narrowly defeating NDC’s Philibert Amenorpe Fummey, who polled 29,433 votes.
