The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has instructed the headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, Zakaria Abdulai, to step down from the Juaben constituency chairmanship race or face disqualification. Julius Kwame Anthony, the party’s Deputy National Communications Director, revealed this during an interview on JoyNews’ The Probe on Sunday, October 18, 2026.
The decision was made in response to reports of alleged sexual abuse in schools involving Abdulai, who is currently under investigation by law enforcement agencies. Anthony explained that the NDC had formally communicated its stance to Abdulai, demanding that he withdraw his chairmanship bid or face disqualification. He emphasized that the party had been aware of the matter since it emerged but had not made a public statement until now.
The directive follows widespread public concern over the sexual abuse allegations in schools and Abdulai’s decision to participate in the constituency chairmanship contest.
