Defeated National Youth Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Brogya Genfi has withdrawn his suit challenging the legitimacy of the election of George Opare Addo as National Youth Organizer of the party.

Brogya Genfi and two other TEIN members secured an interim injunction at the Amasaman High Court against Opare Addo popularly known as Pablo.

However, the party defied the court order that sought to stop the party from swearing in its Youth Organiser-elect, George Opare Addo.

Less than a week after the suit, Brogya Genfi says he is no longer interested in the matter because former President, John Dramani Mahama has stepped in.

“I was determined to pursue this matter to its logical conclusion mainly on grounds of principle and to forestall a similar occurrence in the future. But, upon the intervention of the former President and Flag-bearer of the National Democratic Congress, H.E John Dramani Mahama, who I consider a father, I have decided to withdraw the matter from the court and to abide by the outcome of the election as declared by the party”, he said in a statement.

The plaintiffs had filed the Writ of Summons, seeking the annulment of the just-ended National Youth Organizer election on the basis that 22 TEIN President delegates who by the expressed orders of the High Court were supposed to vote in the elections, were excluded and/or prevented from participating in the elections and that 17 persons who were not supposed to participate in the elections were rather allowed to vote.
