He rejecred the move as "not true," saying no organ of the party can suspend him save the party's National Congress.

Atik Mohammed has rejected a suspension imposed on him as the General Secretary of the Peoples National Convention (PNC).

In a post on Facebook, he said: "My attention has been drawn to some news that I have been suspended indefinitely.

"It is not true and indeed, no organ of the party save National Congress is clothed with such powers. I will officially be issuing a statement to this effect."

His reaction comes after he was suspended indefinately on Saturday at a extraordinary National Executive Committee (NEC).

He was charged with bringing the party's name into disrepute .

He was also accused of criticising the party’s 2016 flagbearer, Dr Edward Mahama.

Saturday’s meeting was chaired by Mr Bernard Monah, who also berated Dr Mahama for accepting to serve in the Akufo-Addo administration.

Dr Mahama, 2016 Vice Presidential Candidate, Emmanuel Anyidoho, first Vice Chairman, Dr Woembegu, second Vice Chairman, Henry Asante and third Vice Chairman, Hajia Ajara were reportedly at Saturday’s meeting.
