The Member of Parliament [MP] for Old Tafo Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Vincent Ekow Assafuah is facing NPP’s National Complaints Committee for openly endorsing presidential aspirant.
The MP will later today, August 19, 2022, appear before the party’s National Complaints Committee after he was referred by the National Steering Committee.
Ekow Vincent Assafuah during an interview with Oyerepa FM/TV, made remarks perceived to favour a Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who is lacing his boot to contest for the NPP’s flagbearership race.
“When we talk of Long Service, Loyalty and Competence, Dr Bawumia’s name can’t be ignored. He has served the party and served well, therefore deserves to lead the party”, Vincent Assafuah declared.

The NPP in a statement said, “Despite a prompt from the host of the show that his declaration of support for a presidential hopeful violated the Party’s Code of Conduct for presidential and parliamentary primaries, Hon. Assafuah blatantly maintained his position.”
Mr. Assafuah will become the first sitting MP in recent times to appear before the Committee for breaching the party’s Code of Conduct.
The NPP’s National Complaints Committee also invited Hopeson Adorye for making some ethnocentric comments during a health walk held in the name of president hopeful, Alan Kyerematen.
The NPP in a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Koduah cautioned party leaders against endorsing presidential hopefuls.
