LAWYERS representing a potential candidate in the upcoming maroon election in Accompong, St Elizabeth have gone to court to seek an injunction to prevent Richard Currie from further exercising the powers of colonel of Accompong.

A representative of the law firm, Phillip, Traile and Company confirmed to the Jamaica Observer on Wednesday that an injunction was filed in the Supreme Court in Kingston last week to block any election from taking place in Accompong at this time, especially under circumstances the complainant Meredith Rowe deems unacceptable.

Currie announced on Saturday that the election for the next colonel of Accompong will be held on May 22, with nomination scheduled for this Friday, exactly one week before the long-awaited election.
