About 184 New Patriotic Party (NPP) members in the Yendi Constituency of the Northern region have been temporarily suspended.
The development was contained in a statement issued by the Chairman, Nashiru Abdul Karim.
The statement explained the decision was made in line with Article 3 Clause (9)(1), Clause (7)(1), and Clause (8)(1) of the party’s 2017 amended constitution, following several complaints from other members alleging constitutional breaches by the suspended individuals.
These complaints, submitted in the form of petitions, highlighted misconduct related to the recently concluded presidential and parliamentary elections.
The allegations were subjected to thorough investigations by both the Constituency Executive Committee and the Disciplinary Committee of the party.
The Constituency Executive Committee met on December 23, 2024, following investigations into the complaints.
Describing the move as necessary to uphold the principles and integrity of the constitution, Mr Karim affirmed the party’s commitment to enforcing its rules and maintaining discipline among its members.
