The Central Regional Secretariat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced the withdrawal of Nurein Shiabu Migyimah as the party’s Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate.
This decision comes amidst complaints and allegations against Migyimah, prompting the NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee to take swift action.
Following exhaustive investigations and deliberations, the Regional Functional Executive Committee opted to withdraw Migyimah’s candidature on moral grounds.
A formal communication has been sent to the Assin Central Chairman of the NDC, notifying him of Migyimah’s suspension from the party for a period of six months.
This suspension is pending further review and adjudication by the Regional Disciplinary Committee, marking a temporary halt to his political aspirations under the NDC banner.
While specifics of Migyimah’s alleged offenses were not detailed by the party, the NDC cited “immoral acts and anti-party conduct” as the basis for their decision.
The withdrawal of Migyimah as a candidate raises questions about the future dynamics of the Assin Central constituency, which is currently held by the New Patriotic Party’s Kennedy Agyapong.
In the previous election, Migyimah garnered 14,747 votes, representing 42.74% of the total votes cast, against Kennedy Agyapong’s 19,754 votes, which accounted for 57.26%. With Migyimah’s removal from the electoral race, the implications for the upcoming December elections remain uncertain, as the NDC seeks to realign its strategy in Assin Central.
