The High Court has reversed a previous ruling that would have required Mr. Gyakye Quayson to present daily in court for his criminal trial.
The ruling is in response to a lawsuit filed by the embattled candidate's attorneys, who characterized the previous ruling as preposterous.
Hon. Quayson was embroiled in a legal dispute that threatened to overshadow his impending bid for election as a representative of the people of Assin North to the House of Representatives.
In the beginning, the high court ruled that the honorable Quayson was required to appear in court daily for a criminal trial involving forgery and perjury.
The decision sent shockwaves through the NDC, whose supporters and opponents anxiously anticipated today's appearance.
However, fate had other plans for Mr. Quayson, whose next court appearance will not occur until after June 27, 2023.
Just as it appeared that the court would absorb his every waking moment, the supreme court abruptly reversed its previous ruling.
All NDC sympathizers who had been lamenting about the earlier ruling let out a collective gasp.
The reversal gives Hon. Quayson a temporary reprieve from the courtroom drama, as he can now focus on the impending June 27 elections.
