The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended the Awutu Senya East Constituency Chairman, Stephen Ofosu Agyare, from office for five months following a petition filed against him by the area’s Member of Parliament, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor.
In a letter signed by the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC said the decision was taken by its Functional Executive Committee (FEC) at a meeting held on July 21, 2026.
According to the letter, the committee considered the petition submitted by the MP together with recommendations from the Central Regional Council of Elders contained in a letter dated July 20, 2026.
The party said the FEC found sufficient grounds to invoke Articles 48(4) and 48(6) of the NDC Constitution.
“Accordingly, you are hereby suspended from your position as Constituency Chairman of Awutu Senya East Constituency for a period of five (5) months, effective immediately,” the letter stated.
The NDC further referred the matter to its National Disciplinary Committee for investigation and any further action deemed appropriate under the party’s constitution.
During the period of suspension, Mr Ofosu Agyare has been directed not to perform any duties or exercise any authority as Constituency Chairman until the matter is concluded or the party issues further directives.
The letter also indicated that copies of the petition submitted by the Awutu Senya East MP and the report of the Central Regional Council of Elders had been attached for his attention.
The NDC urged Mr Ofosu Agyare to treat the directive with the seriousness it deserves.
