When the case was called, lawyer for the interested parties Tsatsu Tsikata told the court that although the application before the court was an expert motion he is there to represent the interested parties, Professor Margaret Kweku the NDC parliamentary candidate for the Hohoe Constituency and others.

He urged that the court should hear him since whatever decision the court would arrive at will affect the interested parties.

Deputy Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame however argued that the High court erred when it  granted the injunction and wants the Supreme Court to set it aside.
