NPP revokes suspension of Nandom constituency secretary after Ken Agyapong’s call for amnesty

The Upper West Regional Executive Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has lifted the suspension of the Nandom Constituency Secretary, Martin Wuoyang,.

The decision, announced on April 27, 2025, and seen as a step toward party reconciliation and unity ahead of the 2028 general elections, comes on the back of a passionate appeal for amnesty by the party’s former presidential aspirant and former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.

Kennedy Agyapong, during the NPP’s National Thank You Tour in Takoradi, on April 26, 2025, urged the party leadership to grant amnesty to all suspended members and those who left due to internal disputes.

He emphasised that unity is critical for the NPP to rebuild and recapture political power in 2028, citing the party’s 2024 electoral defeat as partly due to poor handling of disciplinary actions.

Agyapong specifically called for the reinstatement of high-profile figures like former National Chairman Paul Afoko and former Minister of Trade, Alan Kyerematen, alongside grassroots members and constituency executives.

Wuoyang’s reinstatement also follows earlier tensions in the Nandom Constituency, where two executives, including the Youth Organizer Patrick Napkenaah, were dismissed.

Kennedy Agyapong’s call for amnesty initially sparked mixed reactions, with some NPP members in the Western Region rejecting it, labeling defectors as “saboteurs and traitors.”
