The legal counsel representing the two paramount chiefs of the Talensi traditional area, Tongraan Kugbilsong Nanlebegtang and Nab Azagzuk Azantilow II of Sandema, has withdrawn from the case against President-elect Pe Ditundini Adiali Ayagitam III and the Vice President of the House, Naba Anonsona Anthony Abisa Atasige III. The chiefs were seeking a court declaration to nullify the election held on September 16, 2024.
Additionally, the chiefs requested an interlocutory injunction to restrain the Paramount Chief of Chiana, Pe Ditundini Adiali Ayagitam III, from assuming the title of president-elect of the House. They also sought to prevent the registrar from submitting the election results to the National House of Chiefs until the matter is resolved in court.
The reason behind the withdrawal of counsel Mohammed Tiamiyu is unclear. This development means the plaintiffs will need to secure new legal representation before the next court session is scheduled for October 23, 2024.

Furthermore, the plaintiffs have requested a permanent injunction to prevent the two defendants—the Paramount Chief of Chiana and the registrar—from unilaterally altering the established practice of electing a regional president, who, by virtue of their election, automatically represents the House at the national level.
