The Disciplinary Committee of the main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has recommended the reinstatement of Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu as the Central Regional Chairman.

Prof. Asiedu was previously suspended due to the withdrawal of Nurein Shiabu Migyimah from his position as the party’s Assin Central parliamentary candidate, following allegations of immoral acts and some anti-party activities.

After Prof. Asiedu admitted his guilt and anti-party behavior, the committee suggested his reinstatement to the Functional Executives Committee (FEC).

During its meeting on August 1, 2024, the FEC deliberated extensively on the committee's report.

In accordance with Article 48(9)(f) of the party’s Constitution, the FEC decided to reinstate Prof. Asiedu to his position as Regional Chairman for the Central Region with immediate effect.

This decision was announced in a statement signed by the General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey, dated August 2, 2024.
