The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Central Regional Secretariat has declared that, for moral reasons, Nurein Shiabu Migyimah will not be running as the party’s Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate in the general elections of 2024.
Nurein Shiabu Migyimah was the subject of complaints, and following thorough investigation and discussion, the NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee decided to immediately withdraw his candidacy.
Nurein Shiabu Migyimah has been suspended for six months, as per a letter from the Regional Functional Executive Committee to the NDC Chairman of Assin Central.
This suspension is pending the review and adjudication of the matter by the Regional Disciplinary Committee.
The letter serves as formal notice of the suspension, which will remain in effect until the committee decides.
The party did not explain in detail the offense of the Parliamentary Candidate, except to say that it deliberated on his “immoral acts and anti-party conduct.”
The Assin Central seat is currently occupied by the New Patriotic Party’s Kennedy Agyapong.
In the last election, Nurudeen polled 14,747 votes representing 42.74 against Kennedy Agyapong’s 19,754 representing 57.26% of the votes.
It is unclear how this decision will impact the dynamics of the constituency in the December elections.
