The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has directed members engaging in activities with parliamentary campaign undertones to immediately stop such activities ahead of the party’s parliamentary primaries.

The directive follows what the party says are activities being undertaken by some members with apparent parliamentary ambitions across various constituencies.

In a statement dated September 14, 2026, and signed by the NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the party said its Functional Executive Committee (FEC) had taken the decision after extensive deliberations.

The party has 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 before the official opening of nominations.

According to the NDC, such premature campaign activities are inappropriate and could disrupt the party’s unity, cohesion and orderly functioning.

It warned that members who disregard the directive would face disciplinary action and severe sanctions in accordance with the party’s Constitution, rules and regulations.

The party has also directed all regional, constituency, branch and other party officers to ensure compliance with the directive and report any breaches to the appropriate authorities.

The NDC said it remains committed to a transparent, orderly and credible process for selecting its parliamentary candidates.

It added that the official opening of nominations and applicable guidelines would be communicated at the appropriate time.

The party urged all members to respect its established processes and remain disciplined in the interest of party unity.
