The National Democratic Congress (NDC) branch in the Central Region has withdrawn Nurein Shiabu Migyimah as its Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate for the 2024 general elections.

In a letter announcing his withdrawal, the party said the decision was based on Mr Migyimah’s immoral acts and anti-party conduct.

It said the NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee investigated reports of the parliamentary candidate’s behaviour.

“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in the region and the leadership of the Party at the National level resolved that Nurein Shaibu Migyimah be withdrawn as the 2024 Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate of the NDC with immediate effect,” the letter said.

The party has also suspended Mr Migyimah for six months pending the matter’s adjudication at the Regional Disciplinary Committee.

Nurein Shiabu Migyimah contested the Assin Central parliamentary seat in the 2020 election against Kennedy Agyapong.

However, he polled 14,747 votes, representing 42.74% of the votes cast, against Mr Agyapong’s 19,754, representing 57.26%.
