The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Sagnarigu constituency of the Northern Region has sacked two former party executives from the party over anti-party conduct.
The sacked persons are Abdallah Murjana Wurishie Electoral Area Women’s Organizer, and Mohammed Osman, Electoral Area Chairman for Wurishie.
Information gathered by MyNewsGh.com indicates that two claimed to have defected to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
A statement signed by Alhaji A.R Ridwan, NPP Sagnarigu constituency Secretary, said the two were seen accompanying the NDC parliamentary candidate going around campaigning against the party (NPP).
“Despite the fact that you are still on suspension, you continue to flagrantly breach the party’s constitution, particularly Articles (4) and (7) (a), (e), (f), and (g).
In line with Article 3(9) (1) of the NPP Constitution, it provides as follows:
“A member of the party who stands as an independent candidate against the officially elected member of the party, or who joins or declares his or her support for another political party, or for an independent candidate, when the party has sponsored a candidate in a general or by-election, automatically forfeits his or her membership in the party.”
“In regards to these constitutional provisions, it is the view that Mohammed Osman and Abdallah Murjana have automatically forfeited their membership in the party. Therefore, they are no longer members of the party.”
He entreated all NPP fraternities to remove the two from all the NPP social media platforms.
A viral video circulating on social media showed Murijana speaking at an event organized by the NDC in the Sagnarigu constituency.
She campaigned for the Sagnarigu NDC parliamentary candidate, Attah Issah and assured the gathering to vote massively for the candidate to ensure that he wins the 2024 election.
The two defectees were also seen wearing the “24 Hours Economy “policy T-shirt by the NDC.
Murijana has been one of the lead communicators for the NPP in the Sagnarigu constituency before her defection to the NDC.
However, she indicated that an event would be organized later to officially announce her defection along with her followers in the Sagnarigu constituency
