Despite a continuing interlocutory injunction, the newly elected President of the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA), Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, and the other five elected officers have been sworn in.
On Friday, June 30, they took their oaths of office at the Accra International Conference Center.
The Mr. Dwumfour campaign team informed the media that they had not been served with a lawsuit and as a result, nothing prevented him from taking the oath of office.
The GJA’s delegates cast ballots to choose new executives on Friday, June 24.
However a member of the association Justice Lee Adoboe sued the GJA (1st defendant), past President of the Association Roland Affail Monney (2nd defendant) and Mr Dwumfuor (the 3rd defendant) for alleged corruption during the polls.
“That in the circumstance, I pray for an order of an interlocutory injunction to restrain the defendants/respondents from swearing in the 3rd Defendant as President of the 1st Defendant and a further Order restraining the 3rd defendant from holding himself out as President of the 1st Respondent,” part of the suit said.
