The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended its Central Regional Chairman for leading in the withdrawal of the party’s 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for Assin Central, Mr. Nurein Shaibu Mijima.
According to the party, the decision to suspend the regional chairman was taken during the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) meeting held on Tuesday 2nd July 2024, at which he was given a hearing to explain the basis for actions.
“The purported withdrawal of the Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate is unlawful as neither you nor the supposed “Regional Functional Executive Committee” has the locus or power or authority to withdraw a serving Parliamentary Candidate of the party from a national election.
“The reasons which underpinned the purported withdrawal of the Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate are totally false and without any basis whatsoever,” the General Secretary of the party, Fifi Kwetey explained.
He continued: “You played a lead role in the purported withdrawal of the Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate in clear violation of express directives given to you by the General Secretary and the National Chairman of the party. Consequently, FEC has resolved to suspend you and hereby suspends you from your position as the Central Regional Chairman of the NDC for a period of one month effective immediately.”
