PRESS STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF MUBARICK MASAWUDU ON THE

AFTERMATH OF HIS DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE ASAWASE NDC

PARLIAMENTARY CONTEST.

Kumasi, September 8, 2019 - The attention of the office of Mubarick Masawudu has been drawn
to reports of acts by some party supporters at the NDC Ashanti regional headquarters following
the announced disqualification of Mubarick Masawudu from the Asawase NDC parliamentary
primary contest.

While we condemn in no uncertain terms such occurrence, we wish to state that Mubarick
Masawudu will not condone or sanction such action as his belief is well anchored in the democratic
principles of rule of law, party discipline, fairness and objectivity.

The success of true democracy depends largely on the ability to operate openly and frankly in order
to arrive at decisions that would be reflective of the will and desire of the people.

Disgruntled supporters have the right to express their disagreement at the decision of the party’s
leadership on the issue but the office urges all those who believe in his respectful and non-violent
disposition as well as his stewardship and planned vision for the party and the constituency, to
remain calm and await information on any course of action the office deems fit in the circumstance.

We appeal to our followers to be guided by this statement.

** Signed**
