The Northern Regional Executive of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended the party’s Chairman for the Mion Constituency, Alhaji Abdulai Zakaria for three months.
The suspension follows a petition by one Mohammed Abukari and some 111 members of the party who demanded the removal of the Constituency Chairman.
In a letter signed by the Northern Regional Chairman of NDC, Alhaji Ibrahim Mobla, the Mion Constituency NDC said at its meeting held on 20 March 2021, NRFEC considered a petition from Mr Abukari and 111 other registered members of the NDC which lodged a formal complaint against the conduct of the Constituency Chairman during the recently held general elections.
The executive said the constituency Chairman’s conduct is “in breach of the party’s disciplinary code for its members as contained in the NDC Constitution.”
Against this background, articles 46(1), 46 (6) and 46(8)(b) of the party’s constitution after carefully listening to the recorded conversations attached as evidence to the petition and deliberating on the petition, it decided that “with immediate effect, your position as Chairman of the Mion Constituency be suspended for a period of 3 months.”
The letter stressed that, “The petition be referred to the party’s Regional Disciplinary Committee for further action.”
The letter added that the Constituency Chairman will be on suspension, “pending the hearing and final determination” of the petition against his conduct.
