Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has expressed serious concern over what he describes as an increasing pattern of exclusion from key decisions made by the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) National Council.

His comments came during a visit by the Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Dr.

Bryan Acheampong - one of the figures who has declared interest in leading the NPP as its next flagbearer.

The former President lamented the lack of consultation from the current leadership of the party he once led to electoral victory.
