The only Executive member left is Mr Enoch Kwaku Ampong, Regional Secretary.
In a statement issued to the Press in Kumasi on Tuesday, the seven said, however, that they still maintain their Nkrumaist identity.
They said their resignation stemmed from their desire to see that the practice of democracy thrives, not only in the country but also within the party, as enshrined in the Constitution and the Political Party’s Laws.
They extended their gratitude to their supporters and regretted their inability to consult them before their action.
