A potential legal showdown is brewing within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as two party members, Shamsudeen Iddrisu and Boateng Kwadwo, have filed a motion at the High Court in Accra to stop the party’s highly anticipated Extraordinary National Delegates Conference.
The motion for interlocutory injunction, filed on July 14, 2025, through their lawyer, Agyemang Duah of CharisBrit Legal Consult, seeks to restrain the NPP from holding the scheduled conference, which is set to take place at the University of Ghana Stadium from July 18 to 20, 2025.
According to court documents, the applicants contend that the planned conference violates established party procedures and could undermine the outcome of a substantive legal challenge they have already filed. They are therefore requesting that the court intervene to maintain the status quo until the case is fully adjudicated.
They argue that allowing the conference to proceed while the matter remains unresolved could prejudice the legal process and compromise the integrity of any decisions taken at the event.
Filed under Order 25 of C.I. 47, the motion also calls on the court to issue any additional orders it considers necessary to uphold fairness and protect the interests of the plaintiffs.
As of the time of this publication, the NPP has not formally responded to the injunction application.
The Extraordinary Delegates Conference is a critical event for the NPP, typically convened to debate constitutional amendments, strategize ahead of elections, and take key decisions that shape the party’s future. With the 2028 general elections looming, any disruption to this gathering could send ripples through the party’s internal structures and strategic planning efforts.
