The New Patriotic Party(NPP) is yet to decide whether or not to lift the suspension of former General Secretary, Kwabena Agyei Agyapong.
According to the NPP General Secretary, John Boadu though Mr Agyapong has written to the National Executive Committee (NEC) to rescind its decision on the suspension, the party is yet to meet on the matter.
Mr. Agyapong, together with former NPP national chairman, Paul Afoko,and former national vice chairman, Sammy Crabbe, were suspended by the NEC of the party in 2015 for misconduct.
The NEC found Mr. Agyapong guilty of violating Article 3(d) of the party’s constitution, which enjoins members to publicly uphold the decisions of the party through various acts. He was also accused of engaging in “unilateral actions and activities without consultation of, or authorization by the NEC”.
But six years down the lane he says he believes it is enough to have the decision quashed to enable him to assume party membership. Some leading party members are of the opinion that the NPP hierarchy should grant him clemency, given the role he played during the 2020 electioneering.
Reacting to this, Mr. Boadu said the party has received a letter from the former General Secretary and will act accordingly.
In another development, Mr. Boadu has asserted that the party would not permit the testing of waters by party bigwigs who are ambitious of leading the party as flagbearer in the 2024 presidential election.
