The Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the opposition has made the decision to suspend Alhaji Abdul Hamid, also known as Alhaji Gbewaa, who serves as the northern regional vice chairman.
This action follows serious allegations of assault directed at the party’s regional treasurer, Hajia Shamima Yakubu.
The incident reportedly occurred during a party executive meeting held at the regional office, where Alhaji Gbewaa allegedly assaulted Hajia Shamima Yakubu. The NDC Northern Regional Treasurer was said to be the target of the assault, leading to heightened concerns within the party ranks.
The decision to suspend Alhaji Gbewaa was reached after careful deliberations between national and regional executives. These discussions took place in Accra on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, reflecting the gravity of the situation and the need for a decisive response from the party leadership.
The move to suspend a prominent figure like Alhaji Abdul Hamid underscores the NDC’s commitment to addressing internal issues and maintaining a standard of conduct within the party. This incident sheds light on the challenges faced by political organizations in maintaining discipline among their members, especially in the context of alleged misconduct within party meetings.
As the NDC takes a firm stance against internal misconduct, the suspension of Alhaji Gbewaa sends a strong message about the party’s dedication to upholding its values and ensuring a respectful and safe environment for all members. This decision is pivotal in maintaining the party’s integrity and fostering a culture of accountability among its leadership.
