The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a directive to all its members to refrain from discussing issues that could create disaffection within the party in the media and other public platforms.
In a statement signed by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP acknowledged the disappointment and emotional distress among party members following its defeat in the last election. The statement, however, urged party faithful to remain calm and allow cooler heads to prevail.
“As an officer of the Party, mandated by the Party’s Constitution under Article 10(7)(5) to coordinate the activities and operations of the Party, please note that all Party members are hereby directed to immediately cease discussing Party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms,” the statement read.
The directive also reminded members of Article 3(5) of the party’s constitution, which mandates members to promote and defend the good name of the NPP. It further warned that National, Regional, and Constituency Party leadership would refer violators of the directive to the party’s disciplinary committees.
The NPP leadership emphasized the need for unity and collaboration to rebuild a stronger party for the future.
This directive comes amid growing public discourse among party members regarding the causes of the NPP’s electoral loss and the way forward.
