NPP sacks Boniface, Adorye, Ohene Ntow, Buaben Asamoa for supporting Alan Kyerematen
![](https://cdn.classfmonline.com/cfoZ41e/imagelib/thumbs/58894718.jpg)
Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, Boniface Abubakar Saddique and Yaw Buaben Asamoa, all pro-Alan Kyerematen members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are no longer to be considered as part of the governing party, a statement signed by General Secretary Justine Kodua Frimpong has said.
The four, according to a statement issued on Monday, 20 November 2023, have breached the party’s constitution by displaying public support for, and endorsing a presidential aspirant other than that of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
All four are known supporters of independent presidential aspirant Alan Kyerematen, who resigned from the NPP to go so in the 2024 polls.
Read the party's full statement below:
FORFEITURE OF MEMBERSHIP PURSUANT TO THE PROVISION OF ARTICLE 3(9)(1) OF THE NEW PATRIOTIC PARTY 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 spite of their flagrant breach of the Party’s Constitution particularly Articles 3(5)(A)(4) and 3(9)(1), the afore- named men still hold themselves out as members of the NPP.
For the avoidance of doubt, Article 3(5)(A)(4) of the NPP Constitution enjoins all members of the Party to ”abide by and publicly uphold the decisions of the Party”.
Also, Article 3(9)(1) of the Constitution provides as follows:
“A Member of the Party, who stands as an independent candidate against the officially elected member of the Party, or who joins or declares his or her support for another Political Party, or for an independent candidate, when the Party has sponsored a candidate in a general or by-election, automatically forfeits his or her membership of the Party”.
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.
…SIGNED…
JUSTIN KODUA FRIMPONG
GENERAL SECRETARY
