More details to this question:
Excuse given was there was no one to replace me though there is a person there. Manger was telling others that I will be here for a long time. The need to move into position urgent as will be trained to take charge so new boss can take medical leave for surgery. Do they have a right to do this and if so how long can they do it for?

You are probably an employee at will so your employer has the right to delay any job action (promotion) if needed for any legitimate business reason. If you believe there might be any illegal reason for the job action (inaction in your situation) such as protected-class discrimination then you might have a claim.
