Hopeson Adorye, Tafo MP to face NPP Nat’l Complaints C’ttee for breaching code of conduct

The New Patriotic Party(NPP) Member of Parliament for Tafo, Ekow Vincent Assafuah, and Mr. Hopeson Adorye have been invited before the National Complaints Committee for breaching the party’s Code of Conduct.

The decision was taken after the party’s National Steering Committee held a meeting on Monday, August 15, 2022, where its attention was drawn to these instances.

Hon. Ekow Vincent Assafuah on or about August 3, 2022, during an interview on a Kumasi-based station, passed some comments that sought to advance the ambitions of one of the Party’s presidential hopefuls.

Despite a prompt from the host of the show that his declaration of support for a presidential hopeful violated the Party’s Code of Conduct for presidential and parliamentary primaries, Hon. Assafuah blatantly maintained his position.

In the case of Mr. Hopeson Adorye, the National Steering Committee found his comment made at the “Aduro Wo So Health Walk” held on Saturday, August 13, 2022, in Kumasi as a violation of the Party’s Code of Conduct for presidential and parliamentary primaries which also sought to divide the Party front.

A statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua disclosed that “under the instructions of the National Steering Committee, Mr. Alan Kyerematen has been written to in respect of the “Aduro Wo So Health Walk” that was organized in his name.”

Again, in a bid to forestall such occurrences going forward, the National Steering Committee also agreed that a meeting be arranged with all Presidential hopefuls of the Party to court their support and full cooperation in respect of their compliance with the Party’s Code of Conduct. For emphasis, arrangements are being made to that effect,” the statement added.

The leadership of the party further reiterated its determination and commitment to ensure that activities of all Party executives or officers, individuals, groups, supporters and loyalists of presidential and parliamentary hopefuls, do not breach the Party’s Code of Conduct for presidential and parliamentary primaries.

“The Party wishes to further state that the institution and enforcement of these measures are not intended to aid the electoral advantage of any prospective candidate but to prevent tensions that often arise in the lead up to presidential and parliamentary primaries and secure a united Party front for the 2024 general elections,” the statement noted.
