Haruna Mohammed, Deputy Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation’s to resign if disagrees with the party’s direction.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News on Tuesday, January 13, Haruna stressed that membership in the NPP is voluntary and guided by constitutional provisions and that anybody who flouts it will be dealt with accordingly.
“If there is anybody who has to leave, let him leave. The NPP is a national party you joined voluntarily; nobody forced you. If you feel that something untoward is being done that doesn’t align with your expectations, you can appropriately make arrangements to leave,” he said.
Haruna added that, according to the party’s constitution, members who wish to resign should formally write to the chairman of their constituency.
“The NPP is a recognised corporate party. If anyone disagrees with decisions or matters within the party, he can read the constitution and take an exit or early leave,” he noted.
His remarks come after Prof. Frimpong-Boateng described the NPP as a “fake party” in an interview on Point of View with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV and stated that he no longer considers himself a member.
Despite the party’s initiation of expulsion proceedings, Prof. Frimpong-Boateng has clarified that he has no intention of leaving the NPP, asserting his stance while criticising the leadership publicly.
