A former Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Crabbe, has expressed his displeasure over how the party treated him in the past, but says he has chosen to let go of the pain and focus on rebuilding the party.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Mr. Crabbe recounted the impact of his indefinite suspension on his personal life and business, describing the experience as deeply hurtful.
Ahead of the 2016 general elections, the NPP’s National Executive Committee suspended Mr. Crabbe alongside then-General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong and then-Chairman Paul Afoko for actions deemed harmful to the party’s presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo.
Now seeking to contest the NPP National Chairmanship position in 2026, Mr. Crabbe emphasized that the suspension did not stop him from playing his part in the party’s development.
“I am still a member of the NPP. I really pushed the car during the 2024 elections by drafting strategies for Krowor and Obom-Domeabra constituencies,” he revealed.
He added that he voted in the party’s super delegates congress and insisted that voicing concerns about party matters should not lead to one being branded anti-party.
“It doesn’t matter what I feel or who I support, but sometimes you need to get on board for the work to be done, then we can later discuss issues. Even now, I’m still not happy about many things that were done to me — they destroyed my businesses and more — but that’s behind me,” he stated.
