The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended its Northern Regional Vice-Chairman, Alhaji Gbewaa, following discussions between national and regional executives in Accra.
The suspension comes in the wake of reported aggression by Alhaji Gbewaa towards Hajia Shamima Yakubu at the party’s regional secretariat. The altercation allegedly stemmed from heated disagreements over party finances during the weekend.
Deputy General Secretary Mustapha Gbande, speaking on Joy FM’s Midday News, clarified that Alhaji Gbewaa “has been suspended for three months.”
Mr Gbande said this is “pending investigations and all other processes that will enable the party to look into the issues properly for a final redress.”
Following a heated altercation during a pivotal stakeholder meeting last weekend, the Northern Regional Vice-Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Gbewaa, was involved in an incident that resulted in injuries to the Northern Regional Treasurer’s face.
Subsequently, Gbewaa was arrested but later released on bail. The aftermath of this incident saw his supporters expressing discontent by locking up the regional party office in protest.
In response to the escalating tensions and as part of urgent efforts to address internal divisions, NDC executives held a meeting in Accra to deliberate on the matter.
This meeting resulted in the decision to suspend Alhaji Gbewaa, reflecting the party’s commitment to managing internal conflicts and maintaining discipline within its ranks.
