The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has summoned before the Disciplinary Committee of the Party some individuals or groups who allegedly engaged in acts of violence, intimidation, or coercion with the aim of disrupting the just-ended super delegates electoral process and influencing its outcomes.

The statement noted that the action is a direct response to evidence, including video and photographic materials, which suggest potential violations of the provisions outlined in Article 3(5)(A)(1)(2)(3) and (4) of the Party’s Constitution and a potential misconduct under Article 4(7).
“Emphasis must also be placed on the fact that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, pursuant to the afore-stated constitutional provisions of the party, will also be summoned before the Disciplinary Committee of the Party to provide responses and further details to the accusations and threats he made against certain personalities in a video that has since gone viral on social media and mainstream media,” the General Secretary said in the statement.
In the statement, the leadership of NPP also extended its heartfelt appreciation to all stakeholders who contributed to the successful execution of the Special Electoral College Election.
