NPP dismisses Ohene Ntow, Buaben Asamoa and others for breaking party rules
A statement issued and signed by the general secretary of the NPP Justin Kodua Frimpong on Monday (20 November), said their action was in breach of the party’s constitution.
The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dismissed four prominent members for publicly endorsing the candidature of a person other than the duly elected 2024 presidential candidate of the party.
The affected members are former general secretary Nana Ohene Ntow, former communications director Yaw Buaben Asamoa, former MP for Madina Boniface Abubakar Saddique and Hopeson Adorye.
A statement issued and signed by the general secretary of the NPP Justin Kodua Frimpong on Monday (20 November), said their action was in breach of the party’s constitution.
“The leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken notice of recent activities of Hopeson Adorye, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow and Boniface Abubakar Saddique which includes publicly endorsing the candidature of a person other than the duly elected Presidential Candidate of the Party, His Excellency Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.
“In line with these constitutional provisions, it is the view of the NPP that Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, Boniface Abubakar Saddique and Yaw Buaben Asamoa have AUTOMATICALLY FORFEITED their membership of the Party. They are, therefore, no longer members of the Party.”
“The NPP entreats its members to remain true to their duties as per Article 3(5) of the party Constitution. We further call upon our members to bear in mind that the Party’s focus is to unite its ranks and rally the support of Ghanaians to make history by winning the 2024 general elections,” the statement said.
