NPP’s suspends Northern Regional Nasara Coordinator over misconduct

The Northern Regional Executive Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has suspended Mr Abdul-Fatawu from his position as Northern Regional Nasara Coordinator following a series of controversial statements he made on social media and during public appearances.

The committee cited concerns over the damaging impact of his remarks on the party’s reputation, prompting the indefinite suspension.

The decision, reached during a meeting on October 12, 2024, was taken in accordance with Article 4(7a) of the party’s constitution, which defines misconduct as any action by a member that brings the party into public ridicule or disrepute.

Abdul-Fatawu’s recent comments on social media and subsequent outbursts on radio and other media platforms were deemed to have violated this code of conduct.

In a formal notification addressed to Abdul-Fatawu, the Northern Regional Executive Committee stated: “The comments you made have caused significant damage to the party’s reputation.

“As a result, the Regional Executive Committee has invoked its jurisdiction under the party’s constitution, and the matter has been referred to the Regional Disciplinary Committee for further review.”

The statement further clarified that Abdul-Fatawu’s suspension is immediate and indefinite, pending the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings.

“Until further notice and pending the outcome of the disciplinary process, you are hereby suspended from your position as Northern Regional Nasara Coordinator,” the letter stated.
