The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has granted all suspended party members general amnesty.
According to the NPP, the move is aimed at promoting unity and reconciliation.
The amnesty has been granted to all members suspended or who have pending disciplinary cases.
On August 16, 2025, in a statement signed by Mr. Danquah Smith Buttey, the Acting National Chairman read, “I bring you warm greetings from the national secretariat of the party.
I write to inform you that the National Council, at its Emergency Meeting held on Friday, July 25, 2025, resolved in the interest of unity and reconciliation to grant a General Amnesty to all Party members who have been suspended or whose disciplinary cases are currently pending before the appropriate adjudicatory bodies.
We hereby serve notice that this directive lifts all such suspensions and waives any ongoing proceedings against affected members”, the statement noted.
The NPP’s acting chairman’s statement continued, “Members who have forfeited their membership are required to submit a formal application to he national secretariat for reinstatement. Upon reinstatement, you shall remain ineligible to contest any internal party election until a mandatory two-year period has elapsed.
This measure reflects the Party’s unwavering commitment to fostering internal cohesion, strengthening solidarity, and preparing collectively for the political tasks ahead”.
The statement further added, “In view of this resolution, Party leadership at all levels is hereby strictly advised to refrain from any arbitrary suspension of members. All disciplinary matter must be handled solely in accordance with the procedures, principles, and due process provisions expressly enshrined in the Party’s constitution. The National Secretariat requests your full compliance with this directive.
We count on your continued cooperation”.
In addition, Kennedy Agyapong, a former member of Parliament and flagbearer aspirant, had earlier warned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that a kingdom divided cannot stand.
According to Kennedy Agyapong, the NPP can only win in the 2028 elections if they apologise and forgive each other.
Kennedy Agyapong during the ongoing NPP’s Thank You Tour called on the executives to grant amnesty to Alan Kyerematen, Paul Afoko and other suspended members.
According to Kennedy Agyapong, everybody who has been suspended by the party must be recalled for the party to unite.
Speaking at the Takoradi Technical University Auditorium during the NPP’s Thank You tour, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “If we ever stand a chance to unite, I charge the national executives to grant amnesty to Afoko, Alan and everybody who has been suspended by the party. Let’s recall them to the party and unite”
“I will stand on behalf of the NPP party to apologise to everybody the NPP has offended.
“What I am talking about is not about ego. It is about peace. It should not be difficult for any of us here to admit we have wronged a lot of our party people, hence their decision not to vote for us”, he added.
