The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has instructed its members to stop any activities resembling parliamentary campaigns before the official start of nominations. This order was made after discussions by the Party’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC) regarding members with apparent ambitions for parliamentary positions in various constituencies.
On September 14, 2026, the National Secretariat released a statement signed by General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, urging members to avoid organizing or taking part in meetings, engagements, tours, donations, public appearances, or other activities that could promote or advance a parliamentary candidature before nominations officially commence.
The NDC deemed these activities inappropriate and potentially disruptive to the Party’s unity, cohesion, and functioning. Members who violate the directive may face disciplinary action and severe sanctions according to the Party’s Constitution, rules, and regulations. Regional, Constituency, Branch, and other Party officers have been directed to ensure compliance and report any breaches to the relevant authorities.
The Party is committed to a transparent, orderly, and credible process for selecting parliamentary candidates, with the official opening of nominations and the guidelines for the process to be announced at the appropriate time.
