Savannah Region: NDC Executives suspended in Salaga South Constituency for chaos

Following the disturbances which occurred at the Salaga South NDC party office during a meeting organized by Executives, the Savannah Regional NDC disciplinary committee members have suspended some constituency executives of the party.

According to the disciplinary committee, the suspended executive will not be able to contest any executives election at the Constituency and the Regional level within the specified periods.

On May 16, 2021, some youths who were believed to be supporters of the incumbent Salaga South MP Hajia Zuweira Ibrahimah invaded the constituency party office, causing chaos during a meeting organized by executives of the party.

Some were brutally beaten and properties such as plastic chairs were destroyed.

According to the angry youths, the Constituency Chairman, Youth Organizer, Organizer, Communication Director, and Women Organizer were said to have campaigned against Hajia Zuweira Ibrahimah (MP) during the 2020 elections.

Meanwhile, the affected persons have vowed to appeal the decision by the Regional Disciplinary Committee citing unfairly judgment.
