The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has on Wednesday, June 20 2018, fired its acting National Communications director, Yaw Adomako Baafi.
The party has since appointed the Member of Parliament for Adenta and former Deputy Communication Director, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, to replace Mr. Baafi as the Director of Communication of the NPP.
He will be assisted by Richard Nyamah and Kofi Agyepong.
Reacting to the appointment, Founder of the Danquah Institute, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko on his Facebook page disclosed that the party was experiencing 'challenges' with its communication team.
“Congrats to Yaw Buabeng Asamoah for your appointment as the new Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party. Clearly, there was a huge leadership vacuum in the ruling party’s communication machinery and we are all happy to hear that Chairman Blay, General John Boadu and the team have acted accordinglyâ€, he wrote.
The new Communication director, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah is a lawyer from Sekyere Odumase in the Ashanti Region.
He was the first Secretary of the NPP on the University of Ghana campus.
Mr Asamoah was a show moderator on Forum and Governance Hour on radio and the popular political programme Talking Point on GTV.
