Mpraeso Member of Parliament (MP), Davis Opoku Ansah, has expressed concerns over the summons issued for Adwoa Safo to appear before the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Disciplinary Committee.
OPK, as he is popularly known, said he was shocked by the letter, arguing that the former Dome-Kwabenya MP is not the only one who has publicly discussed the party’s electoral defeat.
“I was shocked by the letter; over the past months, people have gone on several platforms—even the General Secretary went to the media in an attempt to exonerate himself from the loss,” he said.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, OPK cautioned the NPP leadership against creating the impression of targeting specific individuals.
“Senior members attempted to shift blame while members of the council, belonging to a region, went to set up a parallel committee to probe the election loss.
“The report is out, and discussions have begun, but nobody was hauled before the Disciplinary Committee. How much more someone who is sharing her pain? If the party wants to be tough, we must be tough on all—we shouldn’t select weaker brethren to be tough on,” he fumed.
The NPP had earlier urged all party members to refrain from discussing internal matters that could cause division within the party.
Despite this directive, Adwoa Safo granted an exclusive interview on JoyNews’ The Pulse, where she openly criticized the party’s election review committee, calling it “bogus.
Following this, the NPP leadership referred her to the National Disciplinary Committee, stating that her comments violated the party’s directive against public statements that could fuel disaffection.
However, OPK has urged the leadership to be more sensitive in handling the former MP’s concerns, stressing that many party bigwigs have spoken freely without consequences.
He further called on the leadership to engage Adwoa Safo rather than resorting to punitive measures.
