The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), George Lawson is pushing for sanctions against the party’s Member of Parliament for Afram Plains North, Emmanuel Aboagye Didiyie for suing the party.
Mr. Aboagye Didiyie is in court, seeking to place an injunction on the party’s much anticipated national delegates’ congress to elect new national officers.
The MP who is vying for the position of National Organizer said he was unjustifiably disqualified by the party’s Vetting Committee.

“He should be sanctioned…I think it is about time the party becomes firm on those things, and must adhere to all those things to the letter.”
According to him, Didiyie deserves to be punished because he failed to use the party’s structures to address his grievances.
“…the fact is our party is a democratic dispensation, and again for you take any action, there are procedures that you must adhere to and he has not exhausted those procedures then I think he is digging his own graveHe should know that he is a Member of Parliament and he is supposed to know better,” he stated.
The party is expected to go to polls on December , 20, 2014 but there is a likelihood that the much anticipated congress might be postponed considering the latest development.
The party has been dragged to court on several occasions due to a number of court injunctions some aggrieved members of the party placed on its constituency elections.
In September, a Human Rights Court placed an injunction on three constituencies in the wake of its constituency elections, barring the affected constituencies from holding its elections on the said date.
