The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended the Awutu Senya East Constituency Chairman, Stephen Ofosu Agyare from office for five months.
This follows a petition filed by the area's Member of Parliament, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor as well as recommendations from the Central Regional Council of Elders contained in its letter referenced COC/CR/001 dated July 20, 2026.
In a letter issued by the party's headquarters on July 22, the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) said the decision was taken after considering the MP's petition alongside recommendations submitted by the Central Regional Council of Elders.
According to the party, the FEC, at its meeting held on July 21, 2026, found sufficient grounds to invoke Articles 48(4) and 48(6) of the NDC Constitution.
The chairman has therefore been suspended from his position with immediate effect for a period of five months.
"Accordingly, you are hereby suspended from your position as Constituency Chairman of Awutu Senya East Constituency for a period of five (5) months, effective immediately," the letter noted.
The party further announced that the matter has been referred to the National Disciplinary Committee for a full investigation and any further action deemed appropriate under the party's constitution.
During the period of suspension, the constituency chairman has been directed not to perform any official duties or exercise any authority associated with the office until the disciplinary process is concluded or the party issues further directives.
The NDC said copies of the petition submitted by MP Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor and the report of the Central Regional Council of Elders have been attached to the suspension letter.
The party urged the suspended chairman to treat the directive with the seriousness it deserves as investigations into the matter proceed.
