Hundreds of supporters of the
suspended National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Afoko, have
besieged the party’s headquarters to demand his reinstatement.
The supporters say they are unhappy
with decision to suspend Afoko and are calling for his reinstatement. They also
asked the party to allow Mr. Kwabena Agyepong to operate as the General
Secretary.
The about 200 supporters claiming to
be members of the NPP, are believed were bused to the premises.
There are dozens of uniformed Police
personnel at the NPP's headquarters.

A man who identified himself as the
Kintampo North constituency secretary, Sheikh Dauda Muhammad said the group is
yet to be notified on the venue for the said press conference.
The group from various regions in
the country were met on arrival by an aide to the party's General Secretary,
Davis Opoku Ansah popularly known as OPK who said he was meeting them because
‘they are executives of the party and must be accorded all the courtesies’.
This announcement coupled with an
earlier invitation to the press to be gathered at the
Press Centre for a press
conference by the group, has culminated in the police surrounding the
headquarters of the party.
The hundreds of pro-Afoko supporters
later amassed at the NPP Headquarters in Accra demanding the reinstatement of
suspended NPP National Chairman, Paul Afoko.
