Stephen Ayesu Ntim, National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stepped down from his position due to health reasons.
According to a family statement, the party’s national leaders were advised to grant him a break following a recent family meeting.
The letter requested that the party excuse Mr. Ntim from all active politics and internal party activities effective immediately.
The family also raised concerns about a scheduled National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting that Mr. Ntim was slated to chair, cautioning that they would oppose any attempt to compel him to attend, given his current health condition.
“Common sense dictates that, Steve, as a matter of urgency, be temporarily excused not only from the rigors of active politics but from intra-party activities in order to make way for needed peace and solace and for concentration on the ongoing required medical treatment process,” the statement read.
