“In line with these constitutional provisions, it is the view that the New Patriotic Party that Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, Boniface Abubakar Saddique and Yaw Boaben Asamoa have automatically forfeited their membership of the party. They are, therefore, no longer members of the new patriotic party,” part of the statement reveals.

In regard to the issue of supporting an opposition party candidate other than yours, this is what the NPP constitution says;

“For the avoidance of doubt, Article 3(5) (A) (4) of the New Patriotic Party constitution enjoins all members of the party to ‘abide by publicly uphold the decision of the party’

“A member of the party, who stands as an independent candidate against the officially elected member of the party, or who joins his or her support for another political party, or for an independent candidate, when the party has sponsored a candidate in a general or by-election, automatically forfeits his or her membership of the party.”

The above-mentioned names have openly declared their support for the former trade and industry minister, Mr. Alan Kyeremanten.
