According to the group, Agyapong’s utterances are causing harm to the party
A group of NPP Electoral Area Coordinators in the Greater Accra Region has petitioned the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to sanction former flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Agyapong over what they describe as “concerning conduct” against the party.
Agyapong made headlines last week after criticising the NPP for failing to complete the Afari Hospital in Kumasi during the party’s eight years in government.
He later granted a radio interview in which he threatened to expose the party and some of its members.
His comments have drawn backlash from fellow party members, with the group of coordinators becoming the latest to demand action against him.
In the petition, the group stated that Agyapong’s utterances, particularly his allegations of wrongdoing against the party, could damage its image if they are not substantiated. They therefore urged the former flagbearer aspirant to provide evidence to support his claims and expose any alleged perpetrators.
“Over the past several months, we have observed, with increasing concern, a pattern of public commentary by Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong directed at party leaders, party institutions, and critical party positions,” the group stated.
“We are particularly concerned by reports of a recent media interview in which Hon. Kennedy Agyapong allegedly threatened to disclose confidential information and documents relating to the affairs of the party. We attach copies of relevant reports and recordings available to us in support of this petition,” the statement noted.
The petitioners added, “If any member of the party is in possession of credible evidence of wrongdoing, misconduct, corruption, abuse of office, or breaches of party rules, such information should be submitted to the appropriate party organs and lawful authorities for investigation and action.”
They called on the NPP National Executive Committee to direct Agyapong to submit any evidence in his possession so that the alleged wrongdoing can be properly investigated.
“Such a process would strengthen public confidence in the party’s commitment to accountability and transparency,” the group said.
While urging the leadership to invite Agyapong to substantiate his claims, the coordinators also asked the party to “take appropriate measures to preserve party unity, discipline, and cohesion.”
These measures, they noted, should include determining “whether Kennedy Agyapong’s conduct is consistent with the principles, traditions, and constitutional provisions of the party.”
The petitioners further urged the party to “strengthen guidance on public communications by senior party members” and reassure members across the country that the NPP remains united and focused on its objective of returning to government in 2028.
