The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended its Awutu Senya East Constituency Chairman, Stephen Ofosu Agyare, for five months following a petition lodged against him by the constituency’s Member of Parliament, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor.

The suspension, which takes immediate effect, was communicated in a letter dated July 22, 2026, and signed by the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey.

In the letter, the party explained that its Functional Executive Committee (FEC), during a meeting on July 21, reviewed the petition submitted by the MP, together with recommendations from the Central Regional Council of Elders presented in a letter dated July 20.

After deliberations on the matter, the FEC concluded that there were sufficient grounds to activate provisions under Articles 48(4) and 48(6) of the NDC Constitution.

The party consequently directed that Mr Ofosu Agyare be removed from his duties as Constituency Chairman for a period of five months, effective immediately.

The matter has also been forwarded to the NDC’s National Disciplinary Committee for further investigation and any additional action deemed necessary in accordance with the party’s constitution.

During the suspension period, Mr Ofosu Agyare has been barred from carrying out the responsibilities or exercising the powers of Constituency Chairman until the disciplinary process is concluded or the party issues new instructions.
