The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has refuted claims by Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, that the party approached him for collaboration following his election as the Independent Member of Parliament for the Gomoa Central Constituency in the Central Region.

In a press statement issued on Monday, 6th January 2025, the NPP clarified its position, stating that no such engagement had taken place.

The statement, signed by the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, categorically denied authorizing anyone to act on the party's behalf in discussions with A-Plus.

The party emphasized that any claims to the contrary were unsubstantiated and should be disregarded. “We wish to state unequivocally that the New Patriotic Party has not met with A-Plus or mandated anyone to engage him on our behalf,” the statement read.

The denial follows assertions made by A-Plus in a social media post, where he alleged that the NPP, led by Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, had approached him with an offer of collaboration.

A-Plus claimed that the proposal included a promise by the NPP not to contest the Gomoa Central parliamentary seat in the 2028 elections if he aligned with them in Parliament.

He described this offer as a significant indication of the party's seriousness in securing his support.

The NPP reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and urged the public to disregard any misleading information that could tarnish its image.

A-Plus in his post announced that he was yet to hold a meeting with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the possibility of aligning with them as well, stating that his heart leans towards the NDC.
