The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has directed constituency executives to, with immediate effect, suspend party supporters who invoked curses on the national executives committee over the disqualification of their respective candidates.
General Secretary of the party, John Boadu, who was upset by the development, argued that some of the aspirants voluntarily agreed to withdraw from the primaries, insisting the action of the supporters did not reflect the ideals of the party.
The upcoming NPP primaries have been characterised by allegations by some constituency executives to make incumbent Members of Parliament run unopposed by disqualifying some aspirants.
