The National Democratic Congress (NDC) leadership has strongly condemned the assault on its Northern Regional Treasurer, Hajia Shamima Yakubu, during a stakeholder meeting in Tamale to discuss the campaign strategy.

The incident occurred over the weekend and resulted in injuries to Hajia Yakubu's face, leading to her hospitalization.

In a statement dated January 15, 2024, and signed by the NDC's General Secretary, Fifi Fiave Kwetey, the party expressed grave concern over the behavior of the responsible party officer.

The statement assured that at the next meeting of the Functional Executive Committee, comprehensive measures will be taken to address the matter thoroughly, emphasizing the party's disapproval of unlawful acts of assault and battery.

The NDC underscored its commitment to ensuring that all members adhere strictly to the established practices that have made its internal politics a model for the people of Ghana.

The statement also clarified that reports suggesting the incident occurred in the presence of national executive members, including National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and MP for Tamale South Haruna Iddrisu, are inaccurate.

The party denies such claims, emphasizing the absence of any national executive member during the meeting where the Regional Treasurer was assaulted.
