A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has petitioned the party’s General Secretary, calling for a disciplinary review of former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, over what he describes as a sustained pattern of conduct that threatens party unity and cohesion ahead of the 2028 general elections.
The petition, dated June 18, was submitted by Charles Opoku, Deputy National TESCON Coordinator from the New Juaben South Constituency. In the document, Mr. Opoku accused Mr. Agyapong of repeatedly making public statements against fellow party members and opposing official party positions in ways that have allegedly damaged the image of the NPP.
According to the petitioner, such conduct contravenes Article 3 of the NPP Constitution, which requires members to remain truthful and loyal to the party while protecting and promoting its reputation.
Mr. Opoku specifically referenced Mr. Agyapong’s recent criticism of the NPP Minority Caucus regarding the stalled Afari Military Hospital project. He alleged that the former presidential aspirant made what he described as “outright lies and false fabrications” that undermined the party’s efforts to push for the completion and operationalisation of the facility.
The petition also raised concerns about the activities of “The Base,” a political group that emerged following the NPP’s presidential primary. According to Mr. Opoku, the group’s operations outside recognised party structures have created unease among grassroots supporters and could weaken the authority of established party institutions.
Another issue highlighted in the petition relates to a recent media interview in which Mr. Agyapong was reported to have threatened to release confidential party information. The petitioner claimed that the former MP had indicated he would “attack the NPP party in June/July 2027” and would “never campaign for the NPP ahead of the 2028 elections.”
Mr. Opoku argued that such remarks have generated anxiety among party members and supporters across the country at a time when the party is seeking to rebuild and strengthen internal unity.
He further contended that if Mr. Agyapong possesses credible information relating to corruption, misconduct or wrongdoing within the party, it should be presented to the appropriate party structures or state institutions rather than being used as a recurring public threat.
The petitioner attached copies of media reports and interviews to support his claims and requested that the National Executive Committee and other relevant party organs review the materials as part of any disciplinary assessment.
Mr. Opoku said the petition was submitted in the interest of preserving party unity, discipline and the long-term electoral prospects of the New Patriotic Party.
The development comes as the NPP continues efforts to reorganise and rebuild following its defeat in the 2024 general elections, with the party already turning its attention to preparations for the 2028 polls.
