The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nanton Constituency has suspended 34 members over alleged misconduct during the 2024 general elections.
The suspended members, who include polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, and constituency executives, were accused of supporting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate instead of the NPP’s candidate.
Allegations against them include openly campaigning for the NDC, distributing items to voters on behalf of the opposition party, and obstructing voters by mounting roadblocks on election day.
A letter signed by the NPP Nanton Constituency Chairman, Abukari Inusah, stated that the decision was reached unanimously during a meeting held on January 23, 2025.
The meeting was attended by the Council of Elders, the Council of Patrons, and Constituency Executives, who collectively agreed to suspend the members.
The party has yet to provide further details on the next steps regarding the suspended individuals.
“I am writing to respectfully inform the National, Regional, and all party members that the following party members have been decisively suspended as members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) until further notice.
“This is in accordance with Article 3 Clause (7)(1) and Clause (8)(1) of the party’s 2017 Constitution, as amended with effect from February 6, 2025, due to undesirable findings against them by the party’s Disciplinary Committee and Constituency Executive Committee,” the letter stated.
“Twenty-five party members petitioned the leadership of the party, and this petition was carefully considered. At the conclusion of the meeting, a resolution was adopted that established findings of misconduct during and after the December 7, 2024, general elections.”
