Hold Central Regional Conference at Cape Coast Sports Stadium – NDC directs

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has designated the Cape Coast Sports Stadium as the venue for its Central Regional Conference scheduled for Saturday, November 14, following disagreements among regional executives over where the event should be held.

The decision was communicated by the party’s National Secretariat in a letter dated Monday, November 9, addressed to the Central Regional Chairman.

The letter, signed by the Director of Administration, Emmanuel S. Zumakpeh, on behalf of the General Secretary, explained that the national leadership had selected the venue after the regional executives failed to reach a consensus.

The decision follows an earlier directive from the party’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC), which gave the Central Regional Executive Committee until midday on November 9 to agree on a suitable venue and formally communicate its choice to the national leadership.

In its directive dated November 7, the FEC stated that the venue selection had to reflect either a collective agreement or the majority position of the regional executives.

It also cautioned against allowing an individual officer or faction to impose a venue without the backing of the regional leadership.

The committee warned that it would take responsibility for selecting the venue if the executives failed to reach an agreement within the stipulated deadline.

With the latest announcement, the National Secretariat has settled on the Cape Coast Sports Stadium for the conference, which is expected to bring together aspirants, delegates and other party members from across the Central Region.

The Secretariat has directed all stakeholders, including members of the Regional Conference Planning Committee, to comply with the decision and make the necessary arrangements for the event.

The Central Regional Secretariat has also been instructed to coordinate preparations at the designated venue to ensure the smooth conduct of the conference.
