The Talensi Constituency branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has decided to suspend its executive member who organized a protest against the President’s nomination of John Millim Naabwomya as District Chief Executive for the region.
Charles King Luu, the Brach Chairman of the Gorogo Polling Station, rallied a group of supporters from the ruling party to demonstrate against the nomination of John Millim. They alleged that Millim’s actions were causing division within the party and that he had ties to the main opposition, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and the paramount chief of the Talensi Traditional Area.
During the press conference, King Luu referred to the newly appointed DCE for the area as a “devoted” agent of the Tong-Ran. He also noted that the DCE had ties with the NPP and expressed concern that this appointment would give the NPP control over the district.
The group had warned that they would pursue legal action if President John Dramani Mahama did not withdraw the nomination.
Shortly after John Millim’s confirmation as the party’s nominee, an official statement was released announcing the suspension of King Luu, leader of the group, from the party.
The statement noted that King Luu has been removed from his role as Branch Chairman.
His suspension and removal from his position resulted from disciplinary proceedings initiated against him following a petition alleging misconduct. This was due to his involvement in leading a protest against the nomination of the DCE.
The Talensi Constituency Executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) would like to announce that Mr. Charles King Luu has been immediately suspended from the party, as per their decision.
He said this choice was made after disciplinary measures were taken against Mr. Luu. The formal complaint submitted by a party member addressed his recent participation in activities that clashed with party decisions.
The party has requested that he return any property belonging to them that he currently holds, and they also want to advise the public against engaging with him in any capacity as a member or leader of the NDC.
