In Agona West, the NPP expels 280 members.

In the Central region’s Agona West constituency, 280 members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been expelled. The party claims that the action complies with Article 3(9)(1) of the 2017 modified Party Constitution. At the Expanded Constituency Executive Committee meeting on Sunday, December 15, 2024, this decision was made unanimously. The meeting’s attendees included the party’s electoral area coordinators in Agona West, constituency officers, the municipal chief executive, founding members of the constituency, members of the current and former council of elders and patrons, and members of the constituency disciplinary committee.

According to a statement issued by Alhaji Gibrine Tanko, the constituency chairman, the aforementioned individuals were the subject of multiple complaints from other party members alleging anti-party activity. These included supporting an independent candidate in the recently concluded December 7, 2024, parliamentary election in the constituency, joining or announcing their support for another political party, running as an independent candidate against the NPP’s officially elected 2024 parliamentary candidate, and consistently exhibiting such character against the party in every election year. Among other party members, those impacted include women and youth organizers, as well as chairmen of polling stations.
