Justin Kodua Frimpong, NPP General Secretary.
General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has announced that the party will grant a blanket amnesty to all members who have been suspended, in a bid to foster reconciliation.
However, he made clear that those who resigned from the party will not automatically benefit from this gesture.
Speaking during the party’s national “Thank You” tour in Konongo, Ashanti Region, on Thursday, Mr Kodua Frimpong explained that former members who voluntarily left the NPP must formally apply for readmission.
“If you were with us and you left on your own, we cannot just bring you back,” he said. “Such people, if they are willing to rejoin the party, must write officially to indicate their desire to return, for the party to decide whether to accept them or not.”
He contrasted this with the treatment of suspended members, emphasising the party’s commitment to unity.
“Our party leadership prioritises the unity of our party, so we have decided to extend an olive branch to our former members who have been suspended and are willing to rejoin us,” he stated.
Mr Kodua Frimpong added that while the NPP is open to welcoming back those who resigned, readmission will be contingent upon a formal expression of remorse and a party review.
“We cannot give general amnesty to everybody,” he reiterated.
“But we are ready to accept those who show genuine contrition and wish to come back home.”
