Agona West: Our expulsion a defeatist approach – Cynthia Morrison’s secretary

Emmanuel Owusu Acheampong, secretary to Cynthia Mamle Morrison, Member of Parliament for Agona West, has criticised the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) decision to expel him and 279 others, including his boss, calling it a “defeatist approach.”

The NPP announced the expulsion of these 280 individuals, effective December 16, 2024. According to the party, the affected members, many of whom were electoral area executives, were removed for joining or openly declaring support for another political party.

In a statement issued on December 16, the NPP stated that the expelled members were prohibited from presenting themselves as party members, holding any positions within the party, participating in party meetings or activities, and using any party symbols or flags.

Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Monday, December 23, Acheampong described the expulsion as a reflection of “arrogance and ineptitude” within the party. He claimed that concerns raised by the affected members had been ignored by the party leadership.

“It is a sign of a defeatist approach. It is a sign of the arrogance, the ineptitude that we spoke about even while our party was in government, issues that we raised that were never paid attention to that has brought us to this position that we find ourselves at Agona West,” Acheampong stated.
