The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has lifted the suspension of its Central Regional Chairman, Prof. Richard Asiedu, effective immediately.
Prof. Asiedu was suspended for a month on July 2, 2024, alongside Assin Central Constituency Secretary Sadique Broni Yeboah, due to alleged anti-party conduct.
The suspension followed a meeting between national executives, the Functional Executive Committee (FEC), and Assin Central executives regarding the withdrawal of parliamentary candidate Shaibu Migyimah.
Migyimah faced allegations of an amorous relationship with the wife of Constituency General Secretary Sadique Broni and was subsequently suspended after investigations by the NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee.
The NDC, in a statement signed by the party’s secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey on Friday, August 2, 2024, confirmed the lift, explaining that Prof. Asiedu’s reinstatement comes with conditions, as his conduct will be closely monitored to ensure he does not compromise the party’s chances in the region ahead of the December 7 elections.

The National Disciplinary Committee submitted its report and recommendations on your suspension to the General Secretary which among other things, highlighted your admission of guilt, show of remorse and promise not to ever engage in anything that will constitute anti-party behaviour.
The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) at its meeting on the 1st of August 2024 deliberated at length on the report and took the following decisions:
Your suspension as Central Regional Chairman of the Party for a period of one month has elapsed.
Pursuant to Article 48(9)(f) of the Party’s constitution, you are hereby reinstated to your position as regional Chairman of the party in the Central region with immediate effect.
FEC wishes to caution you that the cohesion and unity of the Party in the region are of utmost importance and the party leadership will therefore be watching with eagle eyes to ensure that your conduct after this, does not, in any way jeopardize the chances of the Party in this crucial region ahead of the Dec 7 elections.
You are requested to meet FEC at its next meeting for further interactions.
Thank you.
Thank you.
