The Sekondi High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the eligibility of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Jomoro, Dorcas Affo-Toffey.
This means Dorcas Affo-Toffey can continue to be an MP and continue to represent the people of Jomoro in Parliament.
The court said per her application and subsequent issuance of a Ghanaian passport, she automatically lost the Ivorian nationality.
In a judgment today, the court held that per Ivorian laws, immediately the MP acquired a Ghanaian passport, she automatically ceased to be an Ivorian and therefore there was no need for her to have formally renounced her Ivorian citizenship as argued by the petitioners.

NDC and Mahama are happy with Ghana courts now! ***barred word*** and cruel people who will destroy every state institution just to be able to win power. Never again like the NDC did in 2008 to come to power in 2009.
Are Ghana courts credible to the NDC now. Shameful party which dies propaganda with everything. They think the courts are mercy chambers! NDC, NEVER AGAIN!
