Two national Democratic Congress (NDC) members\u00a0have petitioned the Executive Committee of the NDC to sanction the outspoken Martin Amidu.<\/p>\n
The two,\u00a0Evans Amankwah and Abigail Elorm Mensah, contended that, despite Mr. Amidu being a leading member of the NDC, he has brought the party into disrepute and fueled public ridicule of the party.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”fIdcaf4Vc7orerG90zRS2JafG5HK65ts”]They also say he has weakened party unity and cohesion thus flouting Article 45 of the NDC\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n
The petition made references to evidence of these claims in the form links to articles Mr. Amidu had penned with allegations that the NDC, among other things, tried to rig the 2016 elections and had corrupt members of Parliament.<\/p>\n
The petitioners also referenced an article that had Mr. Amidu urging voters to vote against<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the NDC\u2019s presidential candidate, John Mahama in the 2016 polls if they wanted the State to recoup its money as part of the controversial\u00a0GHc 51 million judgment debt.<\/p>\n
