Afrafranto Party Hopeson Adoryes Post After NPP Dismissal

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Monday announced the dismissal of Hopeson Adorye, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow, and Boniface Abubakar Saddique, from the party.

A statement issued and signed by the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, explained that “Despite their flagrant breach of the Partyrsquo;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”.

The statement further indicated that 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”.

Thus, according to the statement, “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”.

In a subtle response to this on his Facebook page, Hopeson Adorye wrote:“Afrafranto birthday party in New York tonight.”
