The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has withdrawn from the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election following a shooting incident at the residence of the party’s candidate, Mr Kwasi Delali Brempong.
The National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, said the decision was taken in consultation with Mr Brempong.
According to him, Mr Brempong is basically being “held hostage” in his house.
“Delali is traumatised. When I went, he was in the bedroom. He couldn’t move out,” he said in an interview on Accra-based Joy FM.
