The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) suspended campaign activities in the  Mfantsiman Constituency after the gruesome murder of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for the area, Ekow Kwansah Hayford.

The NDC said in a statement that the decision to suspend campaign activities in the area  is to show honour  to the late Hayford.

“We write to communicate the decision of the NDC PC for Mfantseman –Odziifo James Essoun – to suspend his campaigns in the Constituency until Monday in honour of the death of the sitting NPP MP/PC”, a statement from the NDC read.
