A Cape Coast High court has granted an injunction restraining the Member of Parliament-elect for Assin North, Richard Quayson, from being sworn-in into the 8th Parliament on Thursday, January 7, 2021.

This is after a petition filed by one Michael Ankomah-Nimfa of Assin Bereku who claims Mr Quayson holds dual citizenship of Ghana and Canada.

In the substantive case, Mr Ankomah-Nimfa is seeking to annul the declaration of Mr Quayson as the winner of polls because of the dual citizenship claims.
