The general secretary of the People’s National Convention Atik Mohammed has been suspended indefinitely by the party following a vote-of-no confidence Saturday, Starr News has learnt.

The move follows his public attacks on the party’s 2016 flagbearer Dr. Edward Mahama following his ambassadorial appointment by President Akufo-Addo.

The decision by the physician to accept the ‘ambassador-at-large’ appointment has attracted a barrage of criticism from senior members of the PNC including its chairman Bernard Mornah.

However, Starr News understands Mr. Mornah and other executives who criticised the appointment survived the vote-of-no confidence.

Mr. Mahama who has contested the presidency for five times has, in the past, rejected appointments from presidents.
