NDC Bans Premature Parliamentary Campaign Activities

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has placed a ban on all premature campaign activities towards its parliamentary primaries.

In a press release dated *14th September, 2026*, and signed by the General Secretary, *Hon. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey*, the party said it has taken note of activities being undertaken by some members with parliamentary ambitions in various constituencies.

According to the statement, following extensive deliberations, the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) has directed all members engaging in activities with parliamentary campaign undertones, whether directly or indirectly, to immediately cease such activities.

The party cautioned members against organising or participating in meetings, engagements, tours, donations, public appearances or any other activities intended or reasonably perceived to promote or advance a parliamentary candidature ahead of the official opening of nominations.

The NDC said it considers such premature activities as inappropriate and potentially disruptive to its unity, cohesion and orderly functioning, warning that any member who disregards the directive will be subjected to disciplinary action and severe sanctions in accordance with the Party's Constitution and regulations.

All Regional, Constituency, Branch and other Party officers have also been directed to ensure compliance and report any breaches to the appropriate party authorities.

"The NDC remains committed to a transparent, orderly and credible process for selecting its Parliamentary Candidates. The Party will, at the appropriate time, officially communicate the opening of nominations and the applicable guidelines," the statement said.

It urged all members to respect the Party's established processes and remain disciplined in the interest of party unity.
