The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Lower Manya Krobo constituency has suspended former Member of Parliament, Michael Teye Nyaunu, along with three other party members in the constituency for misconduct.
According to the NDC’s Constituency Chairman, David Walter Hormelu, they took the decision in accordance with the party’s constitution which stipulates that any member found to have contravened the party’s laws step aside for a period of six months for investigations.
Mr Hormelu, however, refused to outline the exact conduct that are deemed to have brought the party’s name into disrepute, sources have told Citi News that Mr Nyaunu has alleged
Mr Hormelu did not outline allegations against Mr. Teye Nayaunu but said he had been carrying out activities in the constituency which are anti-party conducts.
He added that the executive committee was awaiting final recommendation from the disciplinary committee whom the four have been referred to.
Mr. Teye Nyaunu’s most recent involvement in the NDC involved him leading the NDC’s 2016 campaign team in Lower Manya Krobo, Yilo Krobo, Upper Manya Krobo, Akropong and other constituencies in Akuapem-Krobo enclave in the Eastern Region.
His time in the NDC has however not been without controversy as he once broke ranks to endorse the candidature of Nana Konadu Rawlings when she left the party to form the National Democratic Party after a failed flagbearership bid within the NDC.
He also forfeited his membership of the National Democratic Congress to contest as an independent parliamentary candidate in the 2012 elections after losing the party primary.
