The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended several executives in the Amenfi Central Constituency over alleged anti-party activities.
The suspended officials include the constituency chairman, the organiser, and both the main and deputy women’s organisers.
These executives took legal action against the party and its parliamentary candidate for the area, Joana Gyan Cudjoe, accusing her of forging party cards.
Consequently, Joana Gyan Cudjoe has been injuncted for forgery and for presenting herself as the parliamentary candidate-elect for the NDC in the constituency.
Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mustapha Gbande, announced that the suspension will last for six months and has been referred to the party’s national disciplinary committee for further review.
“If anybody has a problem with the process that elected her as a parliamentary candidate in that constituency, why did the person wait and we have gone through all the processes, finished the elections swore her in as the parliamentary candidate, trained her and prepared her for the final election then you are in court to say that you have a problem with the processes that elected her as a parliamentary candidate.
This is clearly anti-party conduct; a calculated attempt to hold the party’s interest to ransom. But the party will respect the ruling of the court. We are looking further and any other person whose conduct will also constitute misconduct under the constitution will follow suit until we clean that constituency and prepare it for the 2024 elections,” he stated.
