NPP drags Adwoa Safo to National Disciplinary Committee over anti-party conduct

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has referred former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, to the National Disciplinary Committee of the party for anti-party conduct.

In a statement dated March 20, 2025, and signed by the General Secretary of the party, it was stated that Adwoa Safo is expected to set a good example and adhere to the principles of discipline, loyalty, and unity that define the party. Her failure to do so contravenes Article 3(5) of the party's constitution, hence the party's action against her.

“Following the directives issued to all members of the New Patriotic Party to cease discussions on matters that create disaffection within the party in the media, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo’s comments in the media, particularly on the Pulse show on Joy News, are a clear contravention of the directive issued to all NPP members.

“As she is aware, the directive explicitly states that all party members must cease discussing party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms. Her actions are not only in disregard of this directive but also undermine the party's efforts to rebuild and move forward,” part of the statement read.

The statement further explained that directives have been issued to all party members and leaders to refrain from making utterances that create disaffection within the party in the media, hence, Adwoa Safo’s recent media comments contravene this directive.

“As a former Member of Parliament, former Deputy Majority Leader, and former Minister of State under the erstwhile NPP government, she was expected to set a good example and adhere to the principles of discipline, loyalty, and unity that have always defined our great party.

“Her failure to do so not only reflect poorly on her but also contravenes Article 3(5) of the party's constitution, which, among other things, enjoins us to promote and defend the good name of the party. In breach of the above provision of the party's constitution and the directives issued earlier, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo is hereby referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of the party for further action,” the statement added.

Adwoa Safo is currently on a media tour, engaging several media stations to express what she refers to as her long-endured unfair treatment despite her previous apology to the party and her constituency after having family issues and abandoning her constituency for some months.
