Aspirant files nomination despite ‘expulsion’ from NPP - MyJoyOnline

Alois Kog Kyaakpier Mohl, a parliamentary candidate (PC) aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nandom Constituency, says he has successfully filed nomination to contest the NPP parliamentary primaries in the constituency despite his “expulsion” from the party.

The aspirant said this in Wa over the weekend when he addressed the media regarding a letter signed by Mr Wuoyang Martin, the Nandom Constituency Secretary of the NPP, announcing the forfeiture of the party membership of Mhol.

“…the leadership of the New Patriotic Party in Nandom would wish to officially write to reiterate your forfeiture of membership of the party, which has been precipitated by your incessant campaign against the Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Hon

Mohl said as a formidable member who had served in various positions of the party from the constituency, regional and national levels including the national disciplinary committee of the party, his conduct and utterances must be seen projecting the interest, unity and growth of the party.

“The letter written by my constituency secretary was not only in bad faith but was inviting me to go down the same lane with him or the constituency executives to cause disaffection in the party and the New Patriotic Party, and I am not ready to go down that lane”, he explained.

He also described the actions of the constituency secretary as a disregard for the party structures since one’s forfeiture of the party membership could only be announced at the Headquarters based on evidence-based reports and recommendations against him or her from the constituency executive through the regional executives.

The PC aspirant also cited some provisions of the party constitution, which he thought the constituency executives could not satisfy to expel him from the party including giving him a fair hearing on the allegations leveled against him.
