The National Democratic Congress\u2019 (NDC) Member of Parliament for the Ashaiman constituency, Ernest Henry Norgbey has with immediate effect suspended all campaign activities ahead of the party\u2019s upcoming internal parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cErnest Norgbey, in solidarity with the mourning of the death of his colleague and comrade, has decided to, with immediate effect, suspend all his campaign activities and accordingly, instruct all his teaming supporters to withdraw from circulating all forms of campaign materials and campaigning in order to show honor and respect to the departed soul of our late brother,\u201d a statement from Mr. Norgbey\u2019s campaign team stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mr Max Voy is said to have died on Sunday evening at the Ridge Hospital where he was receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

According to the party leadership in the constituency, the aspirant had been battling with some sickness for some time now, and has on previous occasions been admitted at the Ridge Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
