Newly elected National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the Ningo-Prampram Constituency, Sam George, has been suspended by the party for misconduct.<\/p>\n

Mr. George, in one of the fiercest political contest during the NDC\u2019s primaries held on November 22 in his constituency, beat stiff competition<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>from the incumbent MP, Enoch Teye-Mensah.<\/p>\n

The two accused each other of scheming to rig the polls. The verbal exchanges turned physical with Mr. George allegedly receiving a punch in the eye<\/a><\/strong><\/span> from an aide to Mr. E.T. Mensah.<\/p>\n

In a related development, the party\u2019s Parliamentary Candidate, who is also the incumbent MP for the La Dadekotopon Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Nii Amasah-Namoale, has also been suspended for a similar offence.<\/p>\n

Their suspension takes effect from December 1, 2015. According to the letter suspending them, the two would be made to face the party’s Disciplinary Committee at a later date, to clear themselves of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

The party says their actions have brought the name of the party into disrepute.<\/p>\n

In the case of Mr. Namoale, he is also alleged to have accused the Greater regional executives of working against his re-election.<\/p>\n

The NDC has so far taken similar\u00a0disciplinary actions against members of the party who raised issues before or after the primaries.<\/p>\n

Below are letters\u00a0confirming the suspension of the two\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
