The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region has sanctioned 16 constituency executives and members in the Tempane and Pusiga constituencies for acts of gross misconduct and anti-party behavior.
This follows a disciplinary process led by the Regional Disciplinary Committee, which investigated 21 party members accused of various offenses during and after the 2024 general elections.
After sittings held from March 22–23, 2025, five members were found not guilty of any misconduct and cleared of all charges.
The committee found the misconduct of the 16 members to have seriously undermined party unity and electoral performance.
The disciplinary process was guided by Article 4(4)(2) of the NPP constitution, and all accused were given a fair hearing.
The range of charges faced include campaigning against the party’s candidates, breach of party confidentiality, sabotage, financial impropriety, verbal attacks on party leadership and disruptive conduct.
Sanctions handed down include removal from office and bans from holding any party position for up to five years.
Key among those sanctioned are: Musah Awudu, 1st Vice Chairman of the Tempane Constituency, removed and banned from holding party office for five years for misconduct.
Also Emmanuel Awinimi Atiesba, Communications Officer, has been removed and barred for similar reasons while Jacob Akazusah, Constituency Treasurer, found guilty of dishonest handling of party funds and also banned for five years.
The Regional Executive Committee says the move is part of a broader effort to instill discipline and restore trust and cohesion within the party structures ahead of future political campaigns.
