NDC Expels Umar Sanda for Contesting Ayawaso East By-election as Independent Candidate

The National democratic Congress (NDC) has expelled Umar Sanda, a member, for his decision to contest the Ayawaso East Constituency By-election as an independent candidate.

In a letter dated February 17, 2026, the General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, said his action contravenes the Party’s Constitution and the collective decision of the Party to field a duly and democratically elected candidate.

“By virtue of your decision to break ranks with the Party and contest against the officially’ endorsed candidate of the NDC, you have, in accordance with the provisions of the Party’s Constitution, automatically forfeited your membership in the Party with immediate effect.”

He has since been prohibited from using the Party’s name, logo, colours, insignia, symbols, or any other intellectual property or paraphernalia associated with the Party in the course of your campaign or any related political activity.
