Some 23 constituency executives and members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region have been indefinitely suspended from the party for various acts of misconduct.
The suspended individuals include six constituency executives from Pusiga, 16 former and current constituency executives from Tempane, and one member from the Builsa South Constituency.
Letters have been served individually to the affected persons informing them of their suspension.
Those who held executive positions before the suspension have been directed to stop holding themselves out as executives until the regional disciplinary committee completes full investigations into their offences.
Confirming the incident, the Upper East Regional Communications Director of the NPP, Peter Ayinbisa told Myjoyonline the offences of the suspended executives ranged from campaigning against their constituency Parliamentary Candidates which resulted in several complaints from members of the party, and misappropriation of campaign funds.
He said one of them has also been accused of demanding cash from people who sought his assistance to find jobs.
Ayinbisa said the decision to suspend the 23, was made after an “Expanded Meeting of the Regional Executive Committee.”
“The Disciplinary committee will give them a hearing very soon before the final decision can be taken”, he said.
