NDC bans premature parliamentary campaign activities

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has instructed its members to cease all activities that appear to be part of a parliamentary campaign before the party's parliamentary primaries, which are scheduled to commence. This directive was issued in a statement signed by the NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, on September 14, 2026. The party's Functional Executive Committee (FEC) made this decision after thorough discussions.

The NDC has advised members against organizing or taking part in any meetings, engagements, tours, donations, public appearances, or other activities that could be seen as promoting or advancing a parliamentary candidacy prior to the official start of nominations. Such premature campaigning is deemed inappropriate and has the potential to disrupt the party's unity, cohesion, and smooth functioning.

The party has threatened disciplinary action and severe penalties for members who violate this directive, in accordance with the NDC's Constitution, rules, and regulations.

In response to this directive, the party has directed all regional, constituency, branch, and other party officers to ensure compliance and report any breaches to the relevant authorities. The NDC reaffirmed its commitment to a transparent, orderly, and credible process for selecting its parliamentary candidates. The official opening of nominations and the associated guidelines will be announced at a later date.

The party appealed to all members to adhere to its established procedures and demonstrate discipline for the sake of party unity.
