The Western Regional branch of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended regional organiser Japheth Aidoo and his deputy Thomas Assinae.

According to the regional communications director, Tumi Acquah, the action is to allow for the party’s disciplinary committee to look into an alleged case of diversion of party items brought against the two.

They are to immediately surrender all party items in their possession as they step aside to allow the disciplinary committee to commence work on the case.

A statement signed by regional chairman Michael Aidoo noted that the charges levelled against the two are “non-disclosure of the possession of party items, diversion of party items, and selling of party paraphernalia meant for constituencies”.
