Tensions are deepening within the Wulensi branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Northern Region, as a group of suspended members has demanded the immediate reversal of what they describe as an unconstitutional decision by constituency executives.

At a press conference in Kanjo on Sunday, June 15, the group — calling itself Concerned Suspended Loyal Members — accused party executives of breaching internal rules by suspending 96 members without due process or a fair hearing.

“We demand the immediate reversal of the suspension and a public apology to all affected members,” said Seth Augustus Tangnun, secretary to the group. “The illegal suspension violates Article 48 Clause 123 of our party constitution, which mandates fair hearing, due process, and proper communication. This is not party discipline — it is political prosecution.”

The suspended members argued that their support for an independent candidate in the 2024 parliamentary elections was strategic, citing the former NDC MP’s disconnect with the grassroots. They claimed their approach helped secure a win for the party since the now-elected independent MP caucuses with the NDC in Parliament.

The 2024 elections were marked by deep internal rifts in the Wulensi NDC, despite efforts at reconciliation by then-presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama. Following the polls, those who backed the independent candidate were sanctioned by the constituency executives.

Last week, those same executives held a press conference protesting the appointment of a new NADMO District Coordinator, claiming the appointee was not an NDC member and had been installed under the influence of the independent MP.

But the suspended group rejected those claims on Sunday, describing the NADMO coordinator as a loyal NDC member who deserved the position.

They insist their suspension is undermining party unity and pledged continued loyalty to the NDC, despite what they described as unjust treatment by local leadership.
