In her ruling, presiding judge Justice Patience Mills Tetteh indicated that though Nii Noi is a party to the case now, at the time of the judgement he was not part of the matter and therefore cannot apply for the decision of the court to be set aside.
Today's ruling follows the decision of the NPP not to get involved in the case. At the last court hearing their lawyers told the court they wanted to stay neutral in the matter.

Two failed aspirants in the previously held NPP Klottey Korley constituency primaries Philip Addison and Nii Adjei Tawiah filed a suit in court challenging the eligibility of the primaries held in the constituency last year. They are praying the court to declare the results as null and void and order for a rerun of the election.
