A group of New Patriotic Party (New Patriotic Party) Electoral Area Coordinators in the Greater Accra Region has petitioned the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to take action against former flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Ohene Agyapong over what they describe as “concerning conduct” towards the party.
Mr Agyapong recently criticised the NPP for failing to complete the Afari Hospital in Kumasi during its eight years in government. He later granted a radio interview in which he threatened to expose the party and some of its members.
His comments have sparked backlash from sections of the party, with the coordinators becoming the latest group to call for disciplinary action.
Petition Demands Evidence
In their petition, the coordinators argued that Mr Agyapong’s public statements—particularly allegations of wrongdoing within the party—could damage the NPP’s image if they are not substantiated. They therefore called on him to provide evidence to support his claims.
“Over the past several months, we have observed with increasing concern a pattern of public commentary by Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong directed at party leaders, party institutions and critical party positions,” the group stated.
“We are particularly concerned by reports of a recent media interview in which Hon. Kennedy Agyapong allegedly threatened to disclose confidential information and documents relating to the affairs of the party. We attach copies of relevant reports and recordings available to us in support of this petition,” they added.
The petitioners stressed that any member of the party with credible evidence of wrongdoing, corruption, or abuse of office should present such information to the appropriate party structures or lawful authorities for investigation.
“If any member of the party is in possession of credible evidence of wrongdoing, misconduct, corruption, abuse of office or breaches of party rules, such information should be submitted to the appropriate party organs and lawful authorities for investigation and action,” the petition stated.
The coordinators further urged the NEC to direct Mr Agyapong to formally submit any evidence in his possession for proper scrutiny and investigation.
They added that such a process would help strengthen public confidence in the party’s commitment to accountability and transparency.
Call For Unity And Discipline
The petitioners also called on the party leadership to take steps to preserve unity, discipline, and cohesion within the NPP.
They urged the leadership to determine whether Mr Agyapong’s conduct aligns with the party’s principles, traditions, and constitutional provisions.
In addition, they called for stronger guidance on public communication by senior party members and appealed for assurances that the party remains united and focused on its goal of returning to power in 2028.
