He, however, declined to give further details of the suit and the person who brought the suit, the reason or reasons the suit.

Summons

Mr Bomfeh Jnr said the party received the suit last Thursday, explaining that the party's leadership was in a crunch meeting to get some legal advice on the matter.

“The programme (filing of forms) cannot come on because there is a court summons. I'm not able to give details because we are still in a meeting on the matter,” he said.

When asked who served the summons and for what reason, Mr Bomfeh Jnr said, “the most important thing is that there is a court summons served on the party.”

He, however, clarified that the suit was not an injunction and pointed out that “Legal matters have political twists.”

He said once the party finished its meeting, it would outline the way forward in order not to disrupt the party's calendar and activities.
