The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nanton Constituency has suspended 34 members for alleged misconduct during the 2024 general elections.
The suspended individuals, including 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. The allegations against them include openly campaigning for the opposition, distributing items to voters on behalf of the NDC, and obstructing voters by setting up roadblocks on election day.
A letter signed by the NPP Nanton Constituency Chairman, Abukari Inusah, confirmed that the decision was reached unanimously during a meeting held on January 23, 2025. The meeting, attended by the Council of Elders, the Council of Patrons, and Constituency Executives, concluded that disciplinary action was necessary.
“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,” the letter stated.
The suspension was enforced in accordance with Article 3 Clause (7)(1) and Clause (8)(1) of the NPP’s 2017 Constitution, as amended on February 6, 2025. The decision followed investigations by the party’s Disciplinary Committee and Constituency Executive Committee, which found them guilty of misconduct during and after the December 7, 2024, general elections.
The party has not provided further details on the next steps regarding the suspended individuals. However, the letter noted that 25 party members had petitioned the leadership, prompting a review that ultimately led to the suspension of the accused members.
