Recent reports have revealed the purported reason behind the six-month suspension of Nurein Shiabu Migyimah, the Parliamentary Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the Assin Central constituency in the Central Region.
Earlier reports could not point to the exact cause of the suspension, but a report by Ghananweb indicates that Migyimah has been suspended for impregnating the wife of Sadique Broni Yeboah, a married party member.
“The Regional FEC received credible reports of immoral acts and anti-party conduct against the party’s 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for the Assin Central Constituency, Nurien Shiabu Migyimah. It was revealed that he has impregnated the legally married wife of Comrade Sadique Broni Yeboah, resulting in her moving to a rented apartment in Kasoa, paid for by Nurien Shiabu Migyimah,” Ghanaweb quotes a part of a statement in its purview.
The Central Regional Secretariat of the NDC made the announcement of the suspension after receiving complaints against Migyimah. Following thorough investigations and discussions, the Regional Functional Executive Committee decided to withdraw his candidature.
They have communicated this decision to the Assin Central Chairman of the NDC, explaining that Migyimah’s suspension will remain in effect until the matter is reviewed and adjudicated by the Regional Disciplinary Committee.
“This immoral act by Nurien Shiabu Migyimah has had a traumatic psychological effect on the Assin Central Constituency Secretary, Comrade Sadique Broni Yeboah, affecting his performance as the Scribe of the Constituency,” the statement continued.
“After critically examining the revelations and facts that emerged from its investigation, the Regional FEC resolved that, in the best interest of the party, Nurien Shiabu Migyimah must be withdrawn as the 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for the Assin Central Constituency to safeguard the party’s image from further damage,” the statement concluded.
“It is in this light that we respectfully recommend the withdrawal of Nurien Shiabu Migyimah as the NDC’s 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for the Assin Central Constituency,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Joy News’ Blessed Sogah, Migyimah has expressed confidence in his eventual vindication.
“I believe, and I know whatever allegation, anything they’ve said or whatever it is, after I go through the right party structures, I’ll be vindicated. God being so good, God willing, ‘Inshallah’, on December 7, I’m going to win the election,” he stated.
He urged his supporters to remain calm and assured them that he is working to resolve the matter through the proper channels within the party.
