Nii Armah Ashitey and Nii Coleman have subsequently sued the NDC, the Electoral Commission and Dr. Zanetor Rawlings over her legitimacy to contest for a parliamentary seat under the Constitution.
The plaintiffs claim that Dr. Zanetor Rawlings is not a registered voter and therefore her election as the parliamentary candidate for the constituency should be declared null and void.

In response to the suit, Dr. Zanetor Rawlings has also filed a motion praying the court to strike out the suit against her.

At the High Court's sitting today, counsel for the plaintiffs, Gary Nimako prayed the court to subpoena the EC for failing to appear before the court.
He also told the court that the EC has failed to furnish him with some important documents which he requested for.
However, counsel for Dr. Zanetor Rawlings, Godwin Tamakloe, in his submission said the plaintiffs' counsel request is premature which should not be granted by the court.
