The Tamale High Court gave the NDC the go ahead to hold its parliamentary primary in the Bunkpurugu constituency to select a candidate to contest on the party's ticket for this year's general elections.
Mr. Nanburi Derrick, a failed parliamentary aspirant for the constituency, former MP for the area, took the party to court challenging the decision by the National Executive Committee (NEC) to delete his name from the list of qualified party members who were desirous of contesting in the primary, over allegation that he was joining Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings’ National Democratic Party (NDP).
But the court ruled and was asked him to pay GHC20,000 as compensation to the party.
