The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has suspended its 2024 parliamentary candidate for Agona West, Christopher Arthur, for allegedly defying a directive from the party’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, which bans internal campaign activities for party positions.

The meeting, they said, violated party regulations and amounted to

“Your action not only disregards the authority of the General Secretary but also undermines internal unity and the strategic efforts aimed at strengthening the party ahead of the next general election,” the letter emphasized.

The suspension forms part of measures by the NPP to enforce discipline and maintain cohesion as it gears up for future electoral contests.
