The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nanton Constituency has suspended 34 members for alleged misconduct during the 2024 general elections.
According to a statement signed by the NPP Nanton Constituency Chairman, Abukari Inusah, the suspended individuals, including polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, and constituency executives, were accused of undermining the party by supporting the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate.
Their alleged actions included openly campaigning for the NDC, distributing items to voters on behalf of the opposition, and obstructing electoral processes by mounting roadblocks on election day.
The decision to suspend them was made unanimously during a meeting on January 23, 2025, attended by the Council of Elders, the Council of Patrons, and Constituency Executives. The party’s leadership cited Article 3 Clause (7)(1) and Clause (8)(1) of the NPP’s amended 2017 Constitution as the basis for their decision.
A petition filed by 25 party members led to a disciplinary review, which confirmed findings of misconduct before and after the December 7, 2024, elections. While the party has not yet disclosed the next course of action, the suspension remains in effect until further notice.
