A Deputy General Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has said the party\u2019s decision to sack 23 members for contesting as independent candidates in the December polls was to ensure discipline in the party.<\/p>\n
Mr. Anyidoho insisted that, this course of action was necessary because such persons were taking the party for granted.<\/p>\n
