In the Bosome Freho constituency of the Ashanti Region, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been navigating through significant disputes related to its Parliamentary Primaries. Tensions arose when disagreements and legal challenges were lodged against the NPP’s parliamentary candidate-elect for the constituency. Central to this case were Mr. Yaw Amoah Gyamih, the founder of the NPP in Bosome Freho, and Asafo Agyei Ayeh, both of whom took their grievances to the Court of Appeal in Kumasi.
On 2nd September 2024 , the Appeal Court 7 in Kumasi, under the presiding authority of His Lordship Justice Fredrick Tetteh, made a crucial ruling that could change the course of this conflict. The court granted the disputing parties the opportunity to resolve their differences through an out-of-court settlement. This decision opens the door for an amicable resolution, potentially avoiding a protracted legal battle that could deepen divisions within the party.
After the ruling, Mr. Victor Owusu, the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the Council of Elders, spoke to the media. He expressed his satisfaction with the court’s decision, emphasizing that this could pave the way for peace within the constituency. He urged all parties involved to work together in harmony, stressing that unity is essential if the NPP is to succeed in its mission to “break the 8,” a reference to the party’s ambition to secure a third consecutive term in government.
Mr. Yaw Amoah Gyamih, the founder of the party in Bosome Freho, who initiated the court case, also shared his thoughts following the ruling. He highlighted that his primary motivation was to seek fairness and truth within the party’s proceedings. Welcoming the out-of-court settlement, he reiterated that the ultimate goal for all involved should be winning the 2024 general elections for the NPP.
Additionally, Lawyer Clement Opoku Gyamfi, representing the parliamentary candidate for Bosome Freho, also commented on the ruling. He described the dispute as a “family issue,” suggesting that the resolution reached was a victory not just for the individuals involved, but for the entire constituency and the NPP as a whole.
The court’s decision to allow for an out-of-court settlement marks a significant step towards resolving internal conflicts within the NPP in Bosome Freho. As the parties prepare to engage in discussions to settle their differences, the focus now shifts to ensuring that unity and peace prevail, so that the NPP can maintain its strength going into the upcoming elections.
