The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended Stephen Ofosu Agyare, its Awutu Senya East constituency chairman, for five months.
In a letter issued by the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey revealed that the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) of the party decided to suspend the chairman for five months after a meeting held on July 21, 2026.
The letter disclosed that the decision follows a petition lodged against him by the Member of Parliament for the area, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey disclosed that the committee found the suspension was necessary after a review of the matter.
“Having extensively deliberated on the matter, FEC found sufficient basis to invoke the provisions of Article 48(4) and Article 48(6) of the party’s Constitution. Accordingly, you are hereby suspended from your position as Constituency Chairman of Awutu Senya East Constituency for a period of five (5) months, effective immediately.
He also disclosed that the matter has been referred to the national leadership of the party for further investigation and action.
“FEC has further referred the matter to the National Disciplinary Committee for investigation and appropriate action in accordance with the Constitution of the Party. During the period of your suspension, you are required to refrain from performing any functions or exercising any authority as Constituency Chairman until the matter is finally determined or otherwise directed by the Party,” it added.
Meanwhile, there have been reports of a huge divide among the NDC leadership in the Awutu Senya East Constituency.
The e MP’s spokesperson, claimed in a recent interview that his boss and the constituency chairman are at loggerheads over a failed marriage proposal.
“One of the main things that has brought about this division is that he (the constituency chairman) wanted to marry Honourable Naa Koryoo, in addition to his wife. But the woman said ‘no’. Then he said, ‘It is the reason why I helped you to become an MP. So, if you knew you wouldn’t marry me, why did you accept my help then?’
But she told him that, ‘You also did not say anything to me; I thought you were just helping me to campaign”, he said.
Also, a constituency executive of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Awutu Senya East Constituency has accused the member of parliament in the area, Naa Koryoo Okunor, of giving a World Cup ticket meant for the NDC constituency chairman to her husband.
According to the NDC executive, identified as Kobby, the MP has sidelined the constituency chairman in the allocation of opportunities provided by the Presidency.
He claimed that the Presidency allocated travel slots to constituency chairpersons to enable them to attend FIFA World Cup matches, but the slot given to the Awutu Senya East chairman was allegedly redirected.
Speaking during an interview on Obaatanpa Radio, the NDC constituency executive alleged, “There have been several slots allocated to the constituency, with the latest being the World Cup travel slot. I am a constituency executive member, but I was not given one. None of the members at my branch received a slot”.
“The Presidency gave one slot to every constituency chairman to enable them to travel and watch the World Cup matches. It further directed all MPs to collect the passport documents of the constituency chairmen and submit them to the government for processing”, he stated.
He further added, “Because of the hatred they have for Chairman Agyare, they failed to submit his passport documents, which are currently lying idle at the MP’s house”.
“Today, we have seen videos of her husband watching the World Cup. She gave the slot to her husband, Yussif, who has travelled to watch the World Cup,” he alleged.
Kobby also claimed that several constituency executives were excluded, “I have served the party faithfully, yet I was not given the opportunity. The chairman was also denied the chance, while other MPs ensured that their constituency chairmen had their documents processed on time,” he said.
He revealed that the chairman personally submitted his passport after being contacted by the MP, but the process was never completed.
“The MP called the chairman to submit his passport, which he did. However, she failed to submit it. Whether that was the doing of Yussif, I cannot tell.
What kind of hatred would drive someone to do this to the chairman and deny him such an opportunity? We want to know what wrongdoing the chairman has committed to deserve this treatment”, he added.
