The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that Mr. Umar Sanda has forfeited his membership in the party after choosing to contest as an independent candidate in the upcoming Ayawaso East by-election.
In a letter dated February 17, 2026, and signed by the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC said Mr. Sanda’s decision violates the party’s constitution and its collective choice to field a duly endorsed candidate for the March 3, 2026 by-election.
The party stated that by deciding to run against the officially endorsed NDC candidate, Mr. Sanda has automatically lost his membership with immediate effect.
The letter also prohibits him from using the party’s name, logo, colours, symbols, or any other intellectual property associated with the NDC in his campaign or related political activities.
The NDC urged Mr. Sanda to comply with the directive.
