The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has suspended its General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong and Second Vice Chairman,\u00a0 Sammy Crabbe indefinitely.<\/p>\n
The Disciplinary Committee had asked that Mr. Agyepong be given a 15-month suspension, while Mr. Crabbe was to be\u00a0suspended indefinitely.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”KkyWROgPHu6LQ1xQFO4TxNwGI2cWv9lx”]\u00a0But when the National Executive Committee (NEC) met in a crunch meeting at the party’s Headquarters on Thursday, they decided to suspend both of them indefinitely.<\/p>\n
Mr. Crabbe, who is perceived as an ally to the suspended National Chairman, Paul Afoko, refused to appear before the committee after several invitations.<\/p>\n
Mr. Agyepong, by his posture, is also perceived to have supported Mr. Paul Afoko, an action considered as an affront to the regulations of the party.<\/p>\n
Citi News\u2019<\/strong> Franklin Badu Jnr. reports that some members of the party mostly women, stormed the headquarters to pop Champagne to celebrate the NEC\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n Mr. Agyepong was present at the meeting that suspended him.<\/p>\n Kwabena Agyepong and Sammy Crabbe will now join Paul Afoko as national officers who have been suspended by the party in less than three months.<\/p>\n Some political observers had warned that sidelining such figures will deepen the party\u2019s internal strife, but others disagree.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Ebenezer Afanyi Dadzie\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has suspended its General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong and Second Vice Chairman,\u00a0 Sammy Crabbe indefinitely.
