Zakaria Abdulai has resigned as Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Juaben Constituency and withdrawn his candidature for the constituency chairmanship, citing allegations against him and his office.
In a letter addressed to the party’s General Secretary, Mr Abdulai announced that both decisions take immediate effect.
He said he intended to pursue all lawful avenues to clear his name and vindicate his position following the allegations.
“I wish to express my profound gratitude to my friends, relatives, and all well-wishers who have stood by me and maintained their faith in my innocence in the face of the allegations levelled against me and my office,” he stated.
Mr Abdulai also expressed gratitude to the NDC for giving him the opportunity to serve as a member and party officer.
He described his service to the party as a privilege, saying he remained committed to the political tradition’s growth and development.
“At this time, I intend to devote my attention and resources to pursuing all lawful avenues to clear my name and vindicate my position,” he said.
Mr Abdulai expressed hope that he would return to active politics after resolving the matters surrounding the allegations.
“I remain hopeful that, once these matters are resolved, I will be able to return to active political engagement and continue contributing to the ideals and aspirations of the NDC,” he added.
Copies of the resignation letter were sent to the NDC National Chairman and the Ashanti Regional Chairman.
The letter did not specify the nature of the allegations against Mr Abdulai or his office.
