Paul Afoko has been suspended
indefinitely as the National Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party.
The decision was taken on Friday at
an emergency National Executive Committee meeting at the party’s headquarters
at Asylum Down in Accra.
The decision to suspend Mr. Afoko
was unanimously taken by NEC members present, a source at the meeting told
Myjoyonline.com.
The party’s Council of Elders in a
7-page letter, in September, to the NPP’s Disciplinary Committee, ordered that
steps be taken to suspend Mr. Paul Afoko from the position of Chairman of the
largest opposition party.
After several invitations to Mr.
Afoko to appear before the Disciplinary Committee were not honoured, the
Committee decided to recommend Mr Afoko's suspension.
The party’s First Vice Chairman
Freddy Blay convened and chaired a meeting today which endorsed recommendation
to suspend the embattled Chairman.
Mr. Afoko had been accused by party
supporters of working against the party’ flagbearer chances of winning the 2016
elections.
