Political activist, physician, and former New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant, Dr Arthur Kennedy, has described as “unwarranted” the petitions filed against former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, which have resulted in his referral to the party’s National Disciplinary Committee.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, Dr. Kennedy argued that the former presidential aspirant’s comments regarding the stalled Afari Military Hospital project and alleged corruption within the party did not constitute a breach of the NPP constitution.
“These petitions and therefore the resulting processes that Honourable Kennedy Agyapong is about to be subjected to are unwarranted… listening to Kennedy Agyapong’s initial comments about the Afari hospital and even his subsequent explanations after he received criticism, I am at a loss to see how those statements amount to infringements of the party’s constitution,” he said,” Dr. Kennedy stated.
Political analyst and former presidential aspirant Dr. Arthur Kennedy has criticised petitions filed against former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, describing them as “unwarranted.”
According to Dr. Kennedy, political disagreements should not automatically result in petitions unless there is clear evidence of wrongdoing.
He urged political actors within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to focus on rebuilding unity and preparing for future elections instead of engaging in internal conflicts that could weaken the party.
His comments come as debates continue over disciplinary measures and internal reforms within the opposition party.
