The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied allegations that it has suspended its women’s organizer for Kumawu Constituency for reportedly proclaiming her support for New Patriotic Party presidential candidate Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
The party has suspended Madam Akua Afriyie for allegedly announcing her support for Alan Kyerematen, according to media reports.
However, in a statement issued on August 9, Dr Frank Amoakohene, the NDC’s Ashanti Regional Secretary, stated that the party’s leadership has not sanctioned such punishment.
The NDC clarified that Akua Afriyie is not listed as a women’s organizer or party executive at the branch, constituency, or regional levels in any of its records.
“The attention of the regional leadership of the party has been drawn to a malicious publication made by the chronicles and subsequently republished by some other media outlets to the effect that, the NDC has suspended our women’s organizer for Kumawu Constituency for allegedly declaring support for one of the NPP’s Presidential Aspirants, Alan Kyerematen. I wish to by this statement debunk the publication and put on record that, no such declaration has been made by any of our women’s organizers and no such purported suspension has been occasioned by any structure of the party”.
Madam Akua Afriyie was seen admiring the NPP presidential candidate in a viral video.
Her firing, she claims, occurred shortly after a video of her declaring her support for Alan went viral during the Kumawu by-election.
She had told the entire world that even though she was a member of the NDC, if the NPP presented Alan as their flagbearer in the 2024 elections, she would gladly vote for him.
