The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has directed all its MPs to, forthwith, suspend all their campaign activities in their respective constituencies in order that they can always be present in parliament to fight against the Electoral Commission's constitutional instrument that intends to make the Ghana card the sole source document for voter registration ahead of the 2024 general elections.

A letter signed by General Secretary Fifi Kwetey and addressed to the MPs, said: "We bring you greetings from the national secretariat of the NDC and trust this letter finds you in good health".
