The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a directive to its members, urging them to refrain from discussing internal matters that could create unrest or disaffection within the party in the media. 

In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party acknowledged the disappointment and emotional distress among its members following their defeat in the last election. 

However, the leadership appealed for calm, stressing the need for unity as the party works towards rebuilding.

“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 comes amid growing concerns that public outbursts by some party members could further deepen divisions within the NPP. 

The leadership urged members to exercise restraint and allow internal processes to address grievances.

The statement also reminded members of their constitutional duty under Article 3(5) of the NPP Constitution to promote and defend the good name of the party. 

It warned that any member who violates this directive would be referred to the appropriate disciplinary committees at the national, regional, or constituency levels. 

Reiterating its commitment to unity, the party called on all members to uphold the values of the NPP and work towards strengthening the party for future electoral contests. 

“Let us uphold the values of the NPP and work together to rebuild a stronger party for the future,” the statement concluded.
