NPP suspends two executives, one other as woes deepen in Walewale

The woes of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Walewale Constituency of the North East Region are far from over as more problems emerge further deepening the already existing cracks.

Barely 72 hours after a court ruling ordering the re-run of the Parliamentary Primary in the Constituency, two constituency executives and a member of the party have been suspended.

In a statement issued and signed by Fuseini Nurudeen, North East Regional Chairman of the party dated August 3, 2024, it cited the three for violation of their duties in breach of the party’s constitution.

The affected persons include; Alhassan Sulemana, Walewale Constituency Second Vice Chairman, Imoro Tonzun Mahamudu, Walewale Constituency Financial Secretary and Megida Saaka Sanusi, party member.

The letter communicating their suspension reads in part “In accordance with Article 4, Clause 7(la), (e), (f), and (g) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) constitution, I regret to inform you that the following party member and constituency executives are hereby suspended from their duties, effective immediately. This decision follows a thorough review of recent events and an assessment of your conduct in relation to the specified clauses of the NPP constitution. The grounds for your suspension include:

* Violation of duties as a member.

* Breach of the duty to uphold party policies publicly.

* Creation of discord or factionalism within the party, actions detrimental to the party’s reputation and integrity.

* Bringing the party into disrepute or public ridicule.

During this suspension period, you are required to refrain from participating in any political activities, including attending party meetings, making decisions on behalf of the party, and representing the party in any official capacity.

This suspension will remain in effect pending further investigation and deliberation by the Disciplinary Committee of the party. You will be notified of any updates or changes to your status as soon as they are available. You are directed to hand over all party property to the constituency chairman.”
