NDC suspends three constituency executives

Three executives of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been suspended in the Greater Accra Region.

The three were suspended following their links with a group by name ‘Action Movement’ which held a press conference attacking some national executives for the party’s defeat in the 2016 elections.

The executives had to be suspended for what the party describes as a breach of the party rules.
They are Emmanuel Ashalley Tetteh, Communications Officer of Klottey Korle Constituency, Kozdo Keglo Hamenya, Secretary, Okaiko North and Stephen Affutu, Communications Officer, Okaikoi Central Constituency.
