The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Central Regional executives will meet with the party’s national leadership to discuss Nurein Shiabu Migyimah’s resignation as the party’s Assin Central parliamentary candidate following his conviction for immoral conduct and anti-party activities.
Following thorough inspections and considerations, the NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee resolved to immediately withdraw Nurein Shiabu Migyimah’s nomination in response to complaints lodged against him.
It was said that Shiabu Migyimah had an affair with the Assin Central General Secretary’s wife.
A letter written by the Regional Functional Executive Committee on Sunday, June 28 and addressed to the Assin Central chairman of the NDC also indicated that Nurein Shiabu Migyimah is to be suspended for six months pending the adjudication of the matter by the Regional Disciplinary Committee.
The leadership of the NDC on Friday, June 28, summoned the Central Regional Chairman over the letter withdrawing Shiabu Migyimah’s candidature, raising issues that it breached due process.
The letter of summon, signed by the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Kwetey, said “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.”
“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,” the letter further read.
