I was suspended for defending NPP constitution, not opposing Akufo-Addo – Sammy Crabbe

He argued that elected party officers could not be removed through the disciplinary process and that the NPP constitution provided specific procedures for such action.

New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman aspirant Sammy Crabbe says his suspension from the party in 2015 was not motivated by opposition to then-presidential candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, but by his decision to defend the party’s constitution.

Mr Crabbe, who was an NPP Vice Chairman at the time, said he challenged the suspension of then-party Chairman Paul Afoko and General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong because he believed the appropriate constitutional procedures had not been followed.
