The National Democratic Congress NDC has quashed the withdrawal and suspension of the Parliament Candidate (PC) for Assin Central, Mr. Nurein Shaibu Migyimah.
The party has also suspended the Central regional chairman, Prof. Richard Asiedu, and constituency secretary of the Assin Central Constituency, Sadique Broni, for one month effective immediately.
This decision was taken after a meeting with a delegation from the Central Regional Executive body of the party, led by the Regional Chairman and hearing the reasons for their purported withdrawal of the party’s PC for the Assin Central constituency due to what they described as an immoral act.
In a press statement dated July 3, 2024, the General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey indicated that after carefully examining the facts and circumstances surrounding the matter, FEC established that the purported withdrawal of the PC for Assin Central was unlawful, hence null and void.
“Additionally, it was established that the body that took this unlawful decision had no locus, power and/or authority to do so per the Constitution of the party.
“More importantly, the reasons underpinning the purported withdrawal of the Assin Central PC were found to be totally false and without any reasonable basis” Fifi Kwetey stated.
Fifi Kwetey further noted that, “the letter originating from the Secretariat of the Central Region NDC purporting to withdraw the candidacy of the said Assin Central candidate, Comrade Migyimah and further suspending his membership of the party, is null and void, and stands withdrawn”.
“Accordingly, Comrade Migyimah remains the NDC Parliamentary Candidate of Assin Central for the upcoming general elections in December, 2024”, he emphasized.
