The Central Regional Secretariat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced the withdrawal of Nurein Shiabu Migyimah as the party's Assin Central Parliamentary Candidate for the 2024 general elections on moral grounds.

Complaints were filed against Nurein Shiabu Migyimah, and the NDC’s Central Regional Functional Executive Committee decided to withdraw his candidature with immediate effect after exhaustive investigations and deliberations.

The Regional Functional Executive Committee has written to the Assin Central Chairman of the NDC, informing him of the suspension of Nurein Shiabu Migyimah for six months.

This suspension is pending the review and adjudication of the matter by the Regional Disciplinary Committee.

The letter serves as formal notice of the suspension, which will remain in effect until the committee reaches a final decision on the matter.

The party did not explain in detail the offense of the Parliamentary Candidate, except to say that it deliberated on his "immoral acts and anti-party conduct."

The Assin Central seat is currently occupied by the New Patriotic Party's Kennedy Agyapong.

In the last election, Nurudeen polled 14,747 votes representing 42.74 against Kennedy Agyapong's 19,754 representing 57.26% of the votes cast.

It is unclear how this decision will impact the dynamics of the constituency in the December elections.
