The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the Central Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has petitioned the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, to withdraw the candidature of Nurien Shiabu Migyimah, the parliamentary candidate for the Assin Central Constituency.
In a statement signed by the regional secretary and obtained by GhanaWeb, the party provided justifications for this recommendation, alleging that Migyimah impregnated the wife of Sadique Broni Yeboah, a married party member.
The decision was reached after an exhaustive investigation, which included reviewing audio recordings and interactions among the involved parties. The party further alleged that Migyimah has relocated the pregnant woman from her matrimonial home to a rented apartment in Kasoa.
“The Regional FEC received credible reports of immoral acts and anti-party conduct against the party’s 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for the Assin Central Constituency, Nurien Shiabu Migyimah. It was revealed that he has impregnated the legally married wife of Comrade Sadique Broni Yeboah, resulting in her moving to a rented apartment in Kasoa, paid for by Nurien Shiabu Migyimah,” part of the statement reads.
According to the party, Migyimah’s actions have severely affected the constituency secretary, Sadique Broni Yeboah, and impacted his performance for the party.
The party stated that withdrawing Migyimah’s candidature would set a precedent that the NDC does not tolerate immorality.
“This immoral act by Nurien Shiabu Migyimah has had a traumatic psychological effect on the Assin Central Constituency Secretary, Comrade Sadique Broni Yeboah, affecting his performance as the Scribe of the Constituency,” the statement continued.
“After critically examining the revelations and facts that emerged from its investigation, the Regional FEC resolved that, in the best interest of the party, Nurien Shiabu Migyimah must be withdrawn as the 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for the Assin Central Constituency to safeguard the party’s image from further damage,” the statement concluded.
“It is in this light that we respectfully recommend the withdrawal of Nurien Shiabu Migyimah as the NDC’s 2024 Parliamentary Candidate for the Assin Central Constituency,” the statement read.
