Dr Zanetor Rawlings' application has been thrown out for the second time

An Accra High court has thrown out a motion for the dismissal of the case challenging the eligibility of the NDC elected parliamentary candidate for the Klottey Korle constituency Dr Zanetor Rawlings.

According to the court, the motion was also premature at this stage of the trial and also lacked merit.

Today's ruling is the second set back to Dr. Zanetor Rawlings to quickly bring the matter to an end as a similar motion was also dismissed for the same reasons a couple of weeks ago.

Lawyers for Zanetor Rawlings filed the motion last week arguing the high court lacked jurisdiction over the matter due to the constitutional interpretation being sought and describing the entire action brought before the court was premature.
