The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2024 parliamentary candidate for Agona West, Christopher Arthur, has described his suspension as baseless and politically motivated.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Arthur said he was shocked to hear of his suspension in the media, claiming he was neither informed nor granted a fair hearing.
“I had closed from work and was on my way home when I received calls from some party members that a letter had been issued announcing my suspension. I was surprised because I had not been informed or heard anything about it prior to that,” he said.
According to him, the suspension stems from his open support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“I was told I was suspended because I and some other members campaigned for Dr. Bawumia. But let me be clear—I haven’t breached any party directive, and no one has summoned me or given me a chance to respond,” he stressed.
Mr. Arthur also questioned the authenticity of the suspension letter, which was signed by the constituency chairman, Alhaji Gibrine Tanko, and secretary, Anthony Kwame Kum.
