The court, presided over by Justice Amerley Afua Wood, on Tuesday, August 9, 2016 acted on the decision by the plaintiff and closed the suit.

Zenator’s candidacy has been challenged by the incumbent Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, Nii Armah Ashitey, whom she beat to the party’s ticket for the November 2016 parliamentary poll.

According to Nii Armah Ashietey, Zenator is not a registered voter and thus her election must be declared null and void.

She, however, became a registered voter after she registered with the Electoral Commission in the recent limited voter registration exercise.

The Supreme Court subsequently cleared Zanetor to contest.
