The Patriotic Defenders of NPP Worldwide has petitioned the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to expel former Assin Central Member of Parliament and former presidential aspirant, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, over what the group describes as anti-party conduct.
In a petition addressed to the General Secretary of the NPP and dated June 21, 2026, the group accused Mr. Agyapong of making comments that allegedly undermine the party’s image, past administrations, and unity.
The group cited remarks made by the former MP during an interview on Net 2 TV on June 18, 2026, including his reported threat to disclose sensitive party information if provoked. According to the petitioners, such comments violate Article 3 of the NPP Constitution, which requires members to remain loyal to the party and protect its reputation.
The group argued that Mr. Agyapong, as a senior member and beneficiary of the party, should have exercised greater caution in his public statements about the NPP and its previous governments.
The petition further accused him of attempting to create division within the party and weaken public confidence in the NPP ahead of the 2028 general elections.
The group maintained that the party’s electoral prospects depend partly on the achievements of previous NPP administrations, including those led by former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and said members should not undermine those records.
The petitioners also referenced historical events involving political figures who left or were suspended from the party’s tradition, arguing that such departures did not prevent the NPP from reorganising and winning elections.
They cited examples including former party members such as Joe Appiah, Paul Afoko, Sammy Crabbe, Kwabena Agyepong, and Alan Kyerematen, stating that the party remained resilient despite internal challenges.
The group called on the NPP leadership to begin the process of expelling Mr. Agyapong, arguing that his removal would not affect the party’s chances in the 2028 elections.
The petition also cautioned the NPP’s Parliamentary Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, and General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, to carefully consider their positions regarding the matter, saying their decisions would be closely monitored by party supporters.
The petition was signed by Akosua Achiaa Pokuaa, popularly known as Ghana Jollof, who is listed as spokesperson for the group.
