Suspended Assin Central NDC Secretary Threatens Legal Action

Suspended Assin Party Central Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sadique Broni Yeboah, has given the party three days to reverse the decision.

Mr. Broni, through his lawyers, threatened to take legal action against the party if it did not take appropriate steps.

We have been instructed by our client to request that you immediately lift the suspension within 3 days and provide him with a fair hearing if you deem it appropriate.

“We inform you that we have received strict and unconditional instructions from our client to take legal action against you in the event of failure to comply with your obligations in this regard,” the lawyers warn.

In a letter addressed to Secretary General Fifi Kweteya, the petition was requested to be withdrawn and a fair hearing to be granted.

“This is a clear violation of due process as provided for in Articles 48 and 49 of the Party Constitution, as well as a violation of the principles of natural justice, namely: audi alter partem (listen to both sides). In this respect, your decision is completely null and void and ineffective ab initio,” the letter read.

Mr Broni’s suspension followed a meeting of the NDC Executive Committee (FEC) on the withdrawal of the Assin Central constituency parliamentary candidate, Nurein Shaibu Mygyimah.

Mr. Mygyimah was accused of immorality and party abuse.

However, the NDC National Secretariat noted that the decision was taken without prior notice to members.

Mr Broni and the central regional chairman, Prof Kofi Asiedu, were summoned on Tuesday and suspended, while the case against Mr Mygyimah was quashed.
