Kwabena Agyapong speaks on suspension from NPP [Audio]

Kwabena Agyei Agyapong, Former NPP General Secretary

Mr Agyapong was suspended indefinitely along with the Second Vice-Chairman, Sammy Crabbe after they publicly kicked against the suspension of his close ally, the National Chairman.

Their conduct, the party’s Disciplinary Committee said, violated Article 3(d) of the party’s constitution which demands members to publicly uphold the party’s decisions.

They were accused of frustrating the efforts of the then opposition party to focus on winning the 2016 general election after staying in opposition for eight years.

Based on this backdrop, he did not play a key role in the NPP’s 2016 electioneering campaign though he reportedly supported some constituencies in the Upper East region.

But on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Monday, Mr Agyapong said he believes he has served the suspension following the election of John Boadu.

“Once John Boadu was sworn-in as new General Secretary, that era is gone. You cannot suspend someone from a position he does not occupy,” he noted.

The former NPP scribe said his focus now is to help the NPP and President Nana Akufo-Addo win the December polls.

“I don’t have any bitterness because the NPP is a party I love,” he added.

Mr Agyapong stressed that his focus is to work for President Akufo-Addo to be retained.

“We need to be at the helm of affairs in this country for a long term transformational agenda,” he noted.
