Nana Addo loyalists accused of plotting to oust Paul Afoko, Kwabena Agyapong

Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party is accusing loyalists of the party's flagbearer of plotting an impeachment process against the Chairman and General Secretary.

Nana Ohene Ntow said the impeachment process against Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong is "symptomatic of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed."

Regional Executives across the country have begun an impeachment process against the two party leaders they accuse of being divisive elements within the party.

A meeting in the Ashanti Region ostensibly to pass a vote of no confidence in the two members ended inconclusively with some Regional executives reported to have walked out of the meeting.

The flagbearer of the party Nana Akufo-Addo has distanced himself from the impeachment processes across the regions.

But Ohene Ntow believes there are loyal elements to Nana Akufo-Addo who are scheming behind the scenes to have the two men impeached.

He said there was no basis for any impeachment process against the two leaders.

He said the party's constitution defines in clear terms how the party's personnel can be impeached.

"There must be painted grounds for an impeachment process to begin," he noted, adding all the allegations against Afoko and Agyepong as well as the impeachment process are without "solid evidence."

"This is not the first time we are having primaries. ...After every election once executives are elected everything settles down. Why can't we settle down?" he asked.
