NDC Amenfi Central MP Rescinds Decision to Contest Independent
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Amenfi Constituency, Hon Peter Yaw Kwakye Ackah, has abandoned his plan to run as an independent Parliamentary candidate in the upcoming polls.
This was contained in a press statement issued on Monday, November 18, 2024.
“I wish to inform the good people of Amenfi Central and the general public of my decision to withdraw my independent candidature from the 2024 Amenfi Central Parliamentary election forthwith.”
His decision was based on the Sekondi High Court’s resolution of his grievance and the subsequent clearance of the opposition party’s Parliamentary candidate, Joana Gyan Cudjo to contest in the election by the Electoral Commission.
He also cited counsel from Elders and other leading members of the NDC.
“Pursuant to the decision by the High Court and the Electoral Commission to clear the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for this year’s election, I believe that my reasons for filing to contest the election as an independent candidate are no longer tenable.
“I would like to thank the Elders of the party and other leading members of the party for their invaluable counsel that has led to this decision in the supreme interest of the party.”
