James Gyakye Quayson, whose election as Member of Parliament for Assin North nullified by Cape Coast High Court, has filed to contest the ruling.
Contained in the appeal document which is available to Mynewsafric.com insisted that the Cape Coast High Court erred in its ruling, hence his action.
The Cape Coast High Court ruled that Mr. Quayson, at the time of filing his documents to contest the election in Assin North, still held allegiance to another country other than Ghana.
The Court thus cancelled the said election, ordering a re-run of the poll in Assin North, and, consequently, prohibited James Quayson from holding himself out as Member of Parliament for the area.
But in a notice of appeal filed on Monday, August 2, 2021, at the Court of Appeal in Cape Coast, the beleaguered Mr. Quayson said the ruling delivered by the High Court presided over by Justice Kwasi Boakye was neither grounded in law nor in fact, thereby pleading the court to set aside the orders and costs awarded in the said High Court Judgment.
He thus cause his lawyers to apply to the Court for stay execution of the High Court orders pending the determination of the appeal, saying the High Court erred by not referring the interpretation of Article 94 (2) (a) of the 1992 Constitution to the Supreme Court.
