Tensions within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Western North Region have escalated after a group of constituency coordinators and party members called for the resignation of the party’s Regional Chairman following the mass disqualification of several candidates in ongoing internal elections.
The aggrieved coordinators from the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Constituency argue that the disqualifications have undermined confidence in the party’s internal democratic processes and risk creating divisions ahead of future political contests.
Speaking at a meeting attended by party supporters and constituency executives, the members accused the regional leadership of failing to ensure transparency and fairness during the vetting and qualification process.
According to the coordinators, many competent and dedicated party members were prevented from contesting positions without adequate explanation, a situation they claim has generated widespread dissatisfaction among grassroots supporters.
The group is demanding an immediate review of the disqualification decisions and has called on national party executives to intervene and restore trust within the regional branch.
Party elders and political observers have urged both sides to engage in dialogue and resolve the matter amicably to avoid deepening divisions within the party.
The controversy comes at a crucial time as the NPP continues efforts to reorganize and strengthen its structures ahead of future elections.
Regional party officials have yet to issue a detailed response to the demands, but insiders indicate consultations are underway to address concerns raised by members.
Political analysts believe the outcome of the dispute could significantly influence party unity and grassroots mobilization efforts in the Western North Region in the months ahead.
