The single sharpest fact in one or two punchy sentences. Who did what, where, when, and why it matters. Not a summary of everything — the one thing that makes someone stop scrolling. A reader who only reads this paragraph must understand what happened.

The High Court in Kumasi has issued an interim injunction against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its officials regarding the Afigya Sekyere East Constituency Polling Station Executive Album. The order, issued under Suit No. GJ12/78/26 on 19 June 2026, bars the party, its agents, servants and officers from uploading, finalising, validating, certifying or approving any further processes connected to the compilation of the album.

The High Court in Kumasi has issued an interim injunction against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its officials regarding the Afigya Sekyere East Constituency Polling Station Executive Album. The order, issued under Suit No. GJ12/78/26 on 19 June 2026, bars the party, its agents, servants and officers from uploading, finalising, validating, certifying or approving any further processes connected to the compilation of the album.

The injunction also prohibits any alteration, deletion or interference with data already uploaded in relation to the polling station executive records. In addition, the court directed that a complete and unredacted list of all aspirants vetted and certified by the Polling Station Election Committee in the constituency be deposited with the Registrar of the High Court within 48 hours.

The documents, according to the order, are to remain in custody of the court for a period of ten days. The plaintiff in the case is Adu Mensah of Agona, Afigya Sekyere East Constituency, who filed the application through legal counsel. The defendants include the New Patriotic Party, registered under the Political Parties Act, 2000 (Act 574), with its national headquarters at Asylum Down, Accra, and six others.

The ruling comes amid concerns raised by some aggrieved party members within the constituency regarding the management of internal electoral processes and the compilation of polling station executive records. The case is expected to return to court for further proceedings in the coming days.

And while the court order has caused some tension within the party, the ruling is seen as a significant step towards ensuring transparency and accountability in the country's electoral process.

The case is a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring that our electoral processes are free and fair, and that all parties involved are held accountable for their actions.
