NDC Central Regional executives to meet national leadership over withdrawal of Assin Central candidate

The Central Regional executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are scheduled to meet with the national leadership of the party regarding the withdrawal of Nurein Shiabu Migyimah as the party's Assin Central parliamentary candidate.

This decision comes after allegations of immoral acts and anti-party activities have been levelled against the candidate.

Complaints against Nurein Shiabu Migyimah led to a thorough investigation and discussion by the NDC's Central Regional Functional Executive Committee, resulting in the immediate withdrawal of his candidacy.

Shiabu Migyimah was accused of impregnating the wife of the party's Assin Central General Secretary.

In a letter dated Sunday, June 28, and addressed to the Assin Central chairman of the NDC, the Regional Functional Executive Committee also stated that Nurein Shiabu Migyimah is to be suspended for six months pending adjudication by the Regional Disciplinary Committee.

However, on Friday, June 28, the national leadership of the NDC summoned the Central Regional Chairman regarding the letter withdrawing Shiabu Migyimah's candidacy, citing violations of due process.

The letter of summons, signed by the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Kwetey, stated, “The above-mentioned action if true, was taken without the approval of the National Executive Committee and is considered inappropriate and in contravention of due process and the provisions of articles 40, 41, 46, and 48 of the NDC constitution.”

The letter further read, “In lieu of that, you are thereby requested to appear before the National Leadership of the party on Tuesday, 2nd July 2024 at 2 pm together with your Regional Secretary to explain how this letter was sent out without the approval of the party national leadership.”
