The Central Regional Youth Wing of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said its former Regional Chairman, Mr Bernard Allotey Jacobs’ “continued stay in the party was a dent and an indelible blot on the image and reputation of all party members in the region.”
This follows the dismissal of the former Regional Chairman by the party’s Functional Executives Committee (FEC).
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 23 March 2021, the wing expressed its “sincere appreciation to the Functional Executives Committee Members of the NDC for dismissing Mr Allotey Jacobs from the party.”
The Central Regional NDC youth wing continued: “Politics is about positive numbers and not just about numbers and it is clear Mr Jacobs was becoming a nuisance to the party, hence our joy at the decision to dismiss him from the party.”
The NDC expelled its former Central Regional Chairman, for “anti-party” behaviour.
The decision was a recommendation of the FEC of the party.
Mr Allotey Jacobs has been on suspension for several months.
A few weeks ago, he came out to say he was no longer part of the NDC.
A letter communicating his expulsion, said: “At our meeting on Wednesday, 17 March, the Functional Executive Committee of the NDC considered the report and recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee on the case or misconduct and anti-party behaviour brought against you, Mr Allotey Jacobs, pursuant to article 48(1) (b) and 8 (b) of the NDC Constitution”.
“The Committee’s report, which is herein attached for your attention, found you guilty of the said allegations of misconduct, anti-party conduct and recommended, among other things, your immediate expulsion from the party,” the letter signed by General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia said.
It added: “The Functional Executive Committee acting in compliance of article 48(1) of the NDC Constitution has unanimously adopted the report and accepts fully its recommendation for your expulsion from the party”.
“You are, therefore, by the decision of FEC been expelled from the National Democratic Congress and, for that matter, no more recognised as a member of the party and cannot carry yourself as such”, the letter added.
It noted: “You are by this letter and, pursuant to article 48(10), directed to return any party properties that may be in your custody and shall forfeit any money, dues or subscription fees made to the party”.
