The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Akatsi South constituency has suspended all campaign-related activities effective immediately, following the death of its Constituency Organiser, Mr Sullemana Seidu. The suspension covers branch meetings, aspirants' campaign activities, and other political gatherings. This decision was made in consultation with the Municipal Chief Executive and Member of Parliament for Akatsi South, Mr Bernard Ahiafor.
Mr Seidu, 56, served as the Akatsi South Constituency Organiser from 2018 until his death. He was described by the party as a dedicated grassroots organiser who played an active role in its organisational activities. His knowledge of the branches, communities, and polling stations significantly contributed to the party's grassroots organisation in the constituency.
The Constituency Executives described Mr Seidu as a hardworking organiser and committed member of the NDC, who demonstrated selfless commitment by making his time, resources, energy, and personal vehicle available to support party activities. He was also a unifier who promoted discipline, unity, and hard work, while mentoring younger organisers and youth activists.
The party stated that the suspension of campaign activities was intended to allow members to mourn Mr Seidu, honour his contribution to the party, and show respect to his family. The cause of his death had not been established at the time of the report. Mr Seidu will be buried at Wute at 1300 hours on Saturday, September 26, in accordance with Islamic rites.
A burial announcement issued by the family and the NDC Akatsi South Constituency Executive Committee invited party members, friends, sympathisers, and the public to attend. The party extended its condolences to his wife, children, family, and loved ones and prayed for strength for them during the period of mourning.
The Constituency Secretariat prayed that Almighty Allah would grant Mr Seidu eternal rest. The party appealed to all aspirants, branch executives, and members to comply with the suspension of campaign-related activities until further notice. This decision was made to allow the party to pay its respects to Mr Seidu.
