NDC Suspends Amenfi Central Executives for Alleged Disruption

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended several executives in the Amenfi Central Constituency for six months. The suspension is due to accusations of anti-party activities.

Accusations and Legal Action

The suspended members include the constituency chairman, organizer, main women’s organizer, and deputy women’s organizer. These individuals filed a lawsuit against the party and its parliamentary candidate, Joana Gyan Cudjoe, alleging forgery of party cards.

A court injunction was also issued against Ms. Cudjoe, barring her from acting as the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency due to the forgery claims.

NDC’s Response and Justification for Suspension

The NDC’s Deputy General Secretary, Mustapha Gbande, expressed frustration over the timing of the lawsuit. He questioned why the concerns weren’t raised before Ms. Cudjoe went through the candidate selection process, including being sworn in and receiving training.

Mr. Gbande characterized the lawsuit as a deliberate attempt to undermine the party’s interests. He emphasized the party’s respect for the court’s ruling but warned of further action against anyone else engaging in similar conduct. The goal, he stated, is to ensure a united front in the constituency leading up to the 2024 elections.

Uncertainties Remain

The story leaves some unanswered questions:

What is the status of the court case against Ms. Cudjoe?
Will the suspension of these executives affect the party’s organization in Amenfi Central?
How will the NDC address the underlying concerns about the candidate selection process?

This situation creates uncertainty within the NDC’s Amenfi Central branch, with the upcoming elections looming large.
