A dramatic political storm has erupted in Ayawaso East as prominent figure Umar Sanda has been expelled from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after declaring his intention to contest the upcoming by-election as an independent candidate.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through party ranks and stirred heated debate across political circles, the NDC acted swiftly and decisively, accusing Sanda of defying party directives and undermining internal unity. The expulsion marks a stunning twist in what was already shaping up to be a fiercely contested by-election battle.
PARTY CRACKDOWN
Party insiders describe the decision as “inevitable and necessary,” insisting that the NDC constitution leaves no room for members who choose to go rogue. According to sources, Sanda’s independent bid was viewed as a direct challenge to party authority and an act of open rebellion.
“The rules are clear,” a party official reportedly stated. “You cannot wear our colors and fight against us at the same time.”
FROM INSIDER TO OUTSIDER
Umar Sanda, once seen as a rising voice within the party’s communication structure, now finds himself dramatically ousted. His decision to run independently is being interpreted by some as a bold act of political courage — and by others as a high-stakes gamble that could either electrify voters or fracture support bases.
Observers say this unfolding drama could reshape the dynamics of the Ayawaso East by-election, with voters now watching closely to see whether Sanda’s independent run gains traction or fizzles under party backlash.
BY-ELECTION HEATS UP
The Ayawaso East seat has become a political hotspot, and this latest development only adds fuel to an already blazing contest. With tensions rising and loyalties being tested, all eyes are now on how both the NDC and Umar Sanda navigate the fallout.
One thing is certain: the road to the Ayawaso East by-election just got a whole lot more explosive.
