The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has revoked the membership of four prominent individuals for their backing of Alan Kojo Kyeremanten, as per an official announcement. Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow, Hopeson Adorye, and Boniface Abubakar Saddique are no longer part of the ruling party due to their support for the former Minister of Trade and Industry.
The release, endorsed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, identifies this approval as a violation of the party's constitution, notably Articles 3(5)(A)(4) and 3(9)(1), which stress members' duty to abide by and publicly uphold the party's decisions.
The communication highlights the party’s awareness of the actions of the four individuals, underscoring their ongoing association with the NPP despite contravening the party's constitution. It concludes by explicitly stating that their activities contradict the party's principles and, consequently, their membership has been revoked.
“The leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has observed recent activities of Hopeson Adorye, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow, and Boniface Abubakar Saddique, including their public endorsement of a candidate other than the duly elected Presidential Candidate of the Party, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.”
“Despite their clear breach of the Party's Constitution, particularly Articles 3(5)(A)(4) and 3(9)(1), the aforementioned individuals still hold themselves out as members of the NPP.”
“To eliminate any doubt, Article 3(5)(A)(4) of the NPP Constitution obliges all members to ‘abide by and publicly uphold the decisions of the Party’,” segments of the statement added.
