Nearly four months after the December general elections, the Okai Koi North of the NPP is yet to have peace and unity among its members. The party was deeply divided over the choice of Hon. Elizabeth Sackey as the candidate. Just last week, the constituency Chairman, Mr. Owusu Afriyie signed a statement in which 20 members of the party including the former MP, Darko Mensah were dismissed.
The letter of termination of members as signed by Mr. Owusu Afriyie in part read ?that the termination of your members has become necessary following your activities and behaviour prior to the December general election?. Mr. Owusu Afriyie acted under article 4 subsection 4C of the NPP Constitution which states that the membership of a person could be terminated for indiscipline and disloyalty.
However the supposed dismissed members have rejected the decision of the constituency executives and insisted that they are still members of the NPP in the Okai Koi North. Patrick Asante, the spokesperson of the dismissed members of the party in the Okai Koi North said the constituency chairman has no power to sack them. He said the said 20 dismissed members will continue to play the role they have been playing
