The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced a general amnesty for all members who have been suspended or are facing disciplinary proceedings, as part of efforts to foster unity and reconciliation within the party.
This is contained in a statement dated August 16, 2025, and signed by the Acting National Chairman, Mr Danquah Smith Buttey.
“I write to inform you that the National Council at its Emergency Meeting held on Friday, July 25, 2025, resolved in the interest of unity and reconciliation to grant a General Amnesty to all Party members who have been suspended or whose disciplinary cases are currently pending before the appropriate adjudicatory bodies,” Mr Buttey announced.
He added that, “We hereby serve notice that this directive lifts all such suspensions and waives any ongoing proceedings against affected members.”
He urged members who have forfeited their membership “to submit a formal application to the national secretariat for reinstatement. Upon reinstatement, you shall remain ineligible to contest any internal party election until a mandatory two-year period has elapsed.”
According to him, “This measure reflects the Party’s unwavering commitment to fostering internal cohesion, strengthening solidarity, and preparing collectively for the political tasks ahead.”
“In view of this resolution, Party leadership at all levels is hereby strictly advised to refrain from any arbitrary suspension of members. All disciplinary matters must be handled solely in accordance with the procedures, principles, and due process provisions expressly enshrined in the Party’s constitution,” Mr Buttey further stated.
