NPP sacks 173 Yendi constituency members for violating party constitution

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Yendi Constituency has expelled 173 members for breaching the party’s constitution by contesting as independent candidates and supporting rival political parties during the December 7 elections.

The decision, which took effect immediately, was announced in a statement signed by Alhaji Baba Gazali, the NPP Yendi Constituency Chairman.

It followed an expanded Constituency Executive Committee meeting held on December 23, 2024, where party leaders reviewed complaints and petitions from members.

The committee determined that the actions of the expelled individuals directly violated the party's rules and threatened its unity.

This disciplinary action follows a similar move in the Agona West Constituency earlier this month, where the NPP expelled 280 members, including incumbent MP Cynthia Mamle Morrison.

Ms Morrison, who ran independent after losing the party primaries, was removed alongside her supporters for defying party regulations. 

The NPP’s constitution explicitly prohibits members from contesting against official candidates or supporting rival political entities, with Article 3 (9)(1) stating that such actions automatically forfeit membership.

The statement emphasised that the party will not hesitate to enforce its constitution against members whose actions undermine its objectives.
