The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has considered report and recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee on the case of misconduct and anti-party behavior brought against the party’s former Central Regional Chairman, Bernard Allotey Jacobs after the Committee’s meeting on Wednesday 17th March, 2021.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in May 2020 suspended its former Central Regional Chairman, Mr. Bernard Allotey Jacobs over what the party described as the Chairman’s ‘persistent anti-party conduct’. This was contained in a letter addressed to Mr. Jacobs and signed by the National Chairman of the party, Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo. The party since referred the reports of alleged misconduct to its Functional Executive Committee (FEC).
However, in a letter dated 23th March, 2021 addressed to Mr. Allotey, and signed by the party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, it stated that, “The committee’s report which herein attached for your attention, found you [Allotey Jacobs] guilty of the said allegations of misconduct, anti-party conduct’ and recommended among other things your immediate expulsion from the party.”
The letter which was sighted by A1radioonline.com went further to state that, “The Functional Executive Committee acting in compliance of article 48(1) of the NDC Constitution has unanimously adopted the report and accepts fully it’s recommendation for your expulsion from the party.”
Mr. Allotey is therefore no more recognize as a member of the party and cannot carry himself as such according to the letter.
The party therefore directed him to return any party properties that may be in his possession, citing article 48(1) of its Constitution.
