\n\t\t\t\tThe National Democratic Congress (NDC) Madina constituency is rising with tension following the arrest and remand of Awal Mohammed, an independent parliamentary candidate, on allegations of dishonesty and deception.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\tThe National Democratic Congress (NDC) lodged a formal complaint with the Madina Police, accusing Mohammed of using former President John Dramani Mahama\u2019s image alongside his own on campaign posters, misleading voters into thinking he\u2019s running on the NDC ticket .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\tThis move has sparked outrage, with many interpreting it as a ploy to manipulate the party\u2019s supporters.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe situation escalated to the point where violent confrontations were narrowly avoided.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe NDC demanded action, leading to Mohammed\u2019s arrest and subsequent court appearance.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tAt the Adenta Circuit Court, the NDC\u2019s Madina Constituency Chairman, Secretary, and lawyers pressed the case against Mohammed, who has yet to respond to the allegations.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe court adjourned the hearing until Friday, October 18, 2024, to rule on Mohammed\u2019s bail application.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tIncumbent MP and lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu is under scrutiny for his involvement in the case.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tCritics argue that Sosu\u2019s legal influence contributed to the swift action against Mohammed.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThis has raised concerns among Mohammed\u2019s supporters, who see the arrest as an attempt to silence an opposing candidate ahead of the parliamentary elections.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Madina constituency is a key battleground in the 2024 elections, with both NDC and NPP candidates fiercely vying for control.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tBackground of the Controversy<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\tFrancis Xavier Sosu, the incumbent MP, is a member of the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee and the Appointments Committee.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tHis involvement in the case has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe NDC has maintained that they are protecting their party\u2019s image from being misrepresented.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tHowever, Mohammed\u2019s supporters claim that the NDC and Sosu are undermining his campaign through legal manoeuvres.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
