The leadership of the National Democratic Congress has resolved to storm the Assin Central Constituency ahead of the 2024 general election.
Despite recent setbacks originating from the withdrawal of Nurudeen Migyimah’s candidacy due to allegations of anti-party conduct, a decision later reversed by the party’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC), the NDC believes the parliamentary seat is winnable.
According to the Director of Alternative Dispute Resolution, Lawyer Abraham Amaliba, the party must now convince constituents that Migyimah remains the right candidate for the constituency.
He said this in an interview with 3news.com on July 3, 2024.
The FEC of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after a meeting on Tuesday July 2 said its Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate Shaibu Migyimah remains at post.
The party said this after setting aside the letter originating from the Secretariat of the Central Region NDC purporting to withdraw his candidacy.
The FEC further suspended the Central Regional Chairman of the party, Prof Richard Asiedu, with immediate effect for the decision he took, over an alleged amorous relationship with the wife of the constituency General Secretary, Sadique Broni.
When asked if the happenings within the Constituency will affect the chances of the party in winning the parliamentary seat, Director of ADR of the NDC, Abraham Amaliba said “The Assin Central is a winnable Constituency. It is a seat that is within reach. We have decided to go to the Constituency and meet everybody to let them understand that the information they heard is not true and that the parliamentary candidate is still the best person for the constituency.”
He further added, “the party Chairman will be there, the big wigs will all be at the constituency and dispel the notion that the PC was engaged in something that is untoward”.
On what lessons the party has learnt from the happenings within the Assin Central Constituency and the Central Region, Abraham Amaliba said “the lessons that should be learnt is that regional executives should know what their powers are and what their powers are not.”
