Yaw Buaben Asamoa, formerly an ardent supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed his reservations about the current NPP government.
He believes that the NPP has turned toward self-serving goals, necessitating an immediate overhaul.
The NPP has expelled Mr. Boaben Asamoa along with three other members: former general secretary Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, and Boniface Abubakar Saddique.
They made this decision after openly endorsing independent presidential candidate Alan Kyerematen.
Citing a blatant violation of the party’s constitution—specifically, Articles 3(5)(A)(4) and 3(9)(1)—the NPP released a statement on Monday.
The party cited Article 3(9)(I), which states that a member instantly loses their membership if they support a different political party or run as an independent candidate against the officially elected party member.
However, Yaw Buaben Asamoa defended their choice to back Mr. Kyerematen in a Tuesday appearance on Citi TV.
“We believe that it is time that the right things are done. The elephant is supposed to serve the people of Ghana. When it gets to the point where it becomes self-serving, when it is supposed to look at the interest of Ghana, then it’s time to move on and serve the public” he stated.
