The opposition National Democratic Congress has sacked 18 of its members who have decided to go independent in the upcoming elections.
According to the party, the individuals have forfeited their membership by their decision.
In a statement signed by its General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia, supporters of the party who also endorsed the nomination of the candidates are also in breach of the party’s laws.
The statement added that party members who campaigned, openly associate themselves with their campaign activities and endorsed their nomination forms suffer the same punishment.
According to the statement, they must hand over all party property to their respective constituency secretariats and cease using the name of the flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama in their campaigns.
The aggrieved MPs incurred the wrath of the party after several calls to rescind their decision in order not to create divisions within the party failed.
Ghana goes to the polls on December 7 to elect a President and 275 Parliamentarians.
