Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb TV on March 3, 2026, during the Ayawaso East by-election, Umar Sanda indicated that after the party dismissed him, he was later called back for negotiations. 'You're still our brother, but no longer part of NDC' – Asiedu Nketia tells Umar Sanda“Nothing like that happened. The National Chairman stood on a platform and gave me three days to return but I don’t think that was the right approach. Umar Sanda maintained that he would not speak ill of Asiedu Nketiah, acknowledging his elder status but insisted that the manner in which the chairman addressed him was inappropriate. Mohammed Umar Sanda contested alongside four other candidates in the Ayawaso East by-election but unfortunately lost to Baba Jamal, who represented the NDC.
