Nurein Shiabu Migyimah
The Central Regional Secretariat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced the withdrawal of Nurein Shiabu Migyimah as the party’s parliamentary candidate for Assin Central in the 2024 elections. This decision comes after complaints were filed against Migyimah, leading to his withdrawal on moral grounds.
The NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee investigated the complaints and decided to remove Migyimah immediately. They also suspended him for six months while the Regional Disciplinary Committee reviews the case.
The Executive Committee informed the Assin Central NDC Chairman about the suspension. This suspension will remain until the committee makes a final decision. The party mentioned “immoral acts and anti-party conduct” as reasons but did not provide specific details.
Currently, Kennedy Agyapong of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) holds the Assin Central seat. In the last election, Migyimah received 14,747 votes (42.74%), while Agyapong got 19,754 votes (57.26%).
It is unclear how Migyimah’s withdrawal will affect the upcoming December elections in the constituency.
