Accra (Greater Accra) 29 July ?99

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday warned regional and constituency party executives to stop endorsing parliamentary candidates for the 2000 parliamentary elections.

A statement issued and signed by Mr Huudu Yahaya, General Secretary, said some regional and constituency executives have been issuing statements on endorsement of parliamentary candidates for the 2000 elections.

The NDC said the statements, some of which have been released to the press, should be deemed to be null and void.

It said the national secretariat of the party would issue directives on the time and guidelines for the selection of parliamentary candidates for the pending elections in accordance with the party's constitution.
