NPP To Lose 2016 Elections If...............- Ephson warns

 Ben Ephson has warned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) if they go ahead and impeach their National Chairman, Paul Awentime Afoko and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong. According to the Editor-In-Chief of the Daily Dispatch newspaper, the party’s strong base, Ashanti Region, will vehemently resist, a situation he said will impact negatively on the Danquah-Busia-Dombo Tradition’s chances of winning the 2016 general elections. “I can tell you that if they try and go ahead to remove Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong, there will be ‘kukrudu’ in the party as in earthquake.” “If they think that Kwabena Agyepong and Afoko are perceived to be Kufuor faction and so they will impeach them, they have to know that they (Afoko and Agyepong) also won an election and they also represent a constituency that will not sit down and look at them either,” Mr. Ephon noted in an interview with Fiifi Banson on Kasapa 102.3 FM. The National Council of the NPP has recommended to the party’s Disciplinary Committee to initiate moves to suspend Mr. Paul Afoko as National Chairman until after the 2016 general elections for flouting the rules and regulations of the elephant family. But on Monday, September 21, 2015, the Ashanti Regional Constituency Chairmen of the party served notice to the Council of Elders to immediately consider a withdrawal of their statement asking Mr. Afoko to be suspended. In their view, such a move was so disappointing to the flagbearer’s call for peace and unity in the party. Some party supporters in the Volta Region have also condemned the action by the Council of Elders.
