The Ashanti Regional Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has with immediate effect suspended two activists, Messrs Asamoah Atuahene and A. K. Mensah from the party for indiscipline.

The two have consequently been warned against holding themselves out as members and making public statements on behalf of the party.

This was contained in a press release signed by NDC Regional Vice-chairman, Mr Nti Fordjour in Kumasi.

It said much as the party recognised and appreciated the fact that multi-party democracy was essentially about numbers, it would not compromise on acts of indiscipline on the part of any member or supporter.

"We would, therefore, not hesitate to bring to order confusionist bent on sowing seeds of division among the rank and file and create public image problems for our party."

It asked all members, supporters and sympathisers of the NDC in Ashanti to remain firm and to continue to have faith and confidence in the leadership as they make determined efforts to re-organise and prepare the party to re-capture power in the next general election.

Messrs Atuahene and Mensah have been accused of being behind reports hypercritical of some leading members of the NDC in the mass media.
