The High Court in Accra will today July 4, continue the daily trial of MP-elect for Assin North, James Gyakye Quayson.
The High Court
in Accra on June 29, adjourned an application for a stay of proceedings of the
criminal trial of the newly elected Member of Parliament.
The trial Judge,
Justice Mary Yanzuh said the adjournment was because the court had not received
the full compliments of the application documents.
This decision
followed Mr. Quayson’s application of an appeal in the Court of Appeal
challenging the daily trial order made by High Court judge, Mary Yanzuh.
His lawyers have
argued that several errors of law were committed by the trial judge which
breach Quayson’s right to a fair trial.
The Supreme
Court nullified Mr Quayson’s election as MP for Assin North for holding
Canadian citizenship and being a Ghanaian when he filed his nomination to
contest the election in 2020.
He now faces
charges of perjury and deceiving a public officer.
He’s also
expected to be in Parliament for his swearing-in.
