An Accra High Court has thrown an election petition filed by Ras Caleb Appiah Levi, Greater Accra Regional Chairman of MUSIGA and Presidential aspirant.
The election of the Union has been on hold for several months as the embattled executive has been in court over issues regarding irregularities in the voter’s register.
An Accra High Court placed an interim injunction on the national elections by the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) to elect its national executives in 2019.
The interim injunction followed a suit filed by one of the union’s presidential aspirants, who claimed that the guidelines for the conduct of the elections introduced by the union and its election committee were against the constitution of the union.
The plaintiff, Ras Caleb Appiah-Levi, applied for the injunction to restrain the union, the election committee and agents from organising the national elections until a final determination of the suit.
In a statement, Ras Caleb Appiah-Levi explained there are anomalies with the voters’ register that need to be corrected.
He alleged the union has registered people beyond the deadline for members’ registration, some of which are not musicians.
Ras is yet to respond to the latest ruling by the court.
