Mr.\u00a0 Aboagye Didiyie is in court, seeking to place an injunction<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>on the party\u2019s much anticipated national delegates\u2019 congress to elect new national officers.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”fRS80bH1Dq9Rqb4WrxxeBokz8QnrRqgb”]But speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, George Lawson who justified Hon Didiyie\u2019s disqualification called on the party to sanction him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, Didiyie deserves to be punished because he failed to use the party\u2019s structures to address his grievances.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026the 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,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In September, a Human Rights Court placed an injunction on three constituencies in the wake of its constituency elections<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>barring the affected constituencies from holding its elections on the said date.<\/span><\/p>\n
