The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Yendi Constituency Chairman, Nashiru Abdul Karim, has unveiled the provisional suspension of 184 members for alleged breaches of the party’s constitution.

This announcement was articulated in an official circular released on Wednesday, December 26, 2024. The circular invoked Article 3 Clause (9)(1), Clause (7)(1), and Clause (8)(1) of the party’s 2017 amended constitution as the legal basis for the disciplinary action.

The statement outlined that the party’s leadership had been inundated with numerous formal complaints from members, alleging that the suspended individuals had engaged in constitutional violations. These accusations primarily centered on inappropriate behavior during the recently concluded presidential and parliamentary elections.

A meticulous investigation carried out by the Constituency Executive Committee, alongside the Disciplinary Committee, corroborated the allegations. As a result, an extensive Constituency Executive Committee meeting was held on December 23, 2024.

The deliberations, which included representatives from the Council of Elders, the Council of Patrons, and the Disciplinary Committee, culminated in a unanimous decision to suspend the implicated members.

This action has been characterized as a crucial step in safeguarding the sanctity and credibility of the party’s constitution.

In the circular, Nashiru Abdul Karim emphasized the party’s unwavering dedication to maintaining its regulatory framework and nurturing a culture of accountability, cohesion, and order within its membership.

“I write to humbly notify the National and Regional leadership of the party, as well as the general public, that the following members of the party have forfeited their membership or have been summarily suspended with effect from 26th December 2024,” the statement said.
