The court order was issued after a by-election in which the MCA-elect easily defeated his opponent from a major party, who received 2,765 votes, with 6,162 votes (67 percent).
The current local leadership suffered a political setback as a result of his victory, which also sparked rumors that the robbery investigation might be politically motivated.
Obtaining the summons, the MCA-elect publicly expressed concern that the timing seemed to be intended to sabotage his swearing-in.
He accused local political leaders, including a leading MP, of orchestrating what he termed a “witch‑hunt.” He insisted he had nothing to do with coffee farming or trade, calling the accusations baseless.
