The Central Regional Secretariat of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sacked the Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate, Nurein Shiabu Migyimah for allegedly having sexual intercourse with the Constituency Secretary of the party’s wife.
The erring NDC candidate is said to have impregnated the secretary’s wife and has subsequently relocated her to Kasoa where he has rented a room for her.
This follows complaints filed against Nurein Shiabu Migyimah, in which the NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee decided to withdraw his candidature with immediate effect after exhaustive investigations and deliberations.
In a statement signed by Gabriel Nii Kommey Adams, Regional Secretary of the NDC in the Region, it says the decision was taken after the Regional Functional Executive Committee (R-FEC) conducted a preliminary investigation into reports of “immoral acts and anti-Party conduct” against Migyimah.
“The Regional Functional Executive Committee, after conducting its preliminary investigation and examining the matter minutely and exhaustively, further consulted key stakeholders in the region and the leadership of the Party at the National level and resolved that Nurein Shaibu Migyimah be withdrawn as the 2024 Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate of the NDC with immediate effect,” the statement said.
The statement also announced that Migyimah has been suspended from the party for six months and referred to the Regional Disciplinary Committee for adjudication.
However, his party membership has also been suspended until the final determination of his case.
It’s unclear as the Party will elect a new candidate for the 2024 general election to contest the Parliamentary seat currently occupied by the NPP MP, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.
Below is the full statement:
