The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced a sweeping general amnesty for all members who have either been suspended or have pending disciplinary cases.
In a statement dated August 16, 2025, and signed by the Acting National Chairman, Mr. Danquah Smith Buttey, the party disclosed that the decision was taken during an emergency National Council meeting held on July 25.
According to the statement, the move is intended to foster unity and reconciliation within the party.
“We hereby serve notice that this directive lifts all such suspensions and waives any ongoing proceedings against affected members,” the statement read.
The party clarified, however, that members who had forfeited their membership must formally reapply for reinstatement at the party’s national secretariat. Such individuals, once reinstated, will not be eligible to contest any internal elections for the next two years.
The NPP also cautioned regional and constituency executives against arbitrary suspensions, urging them to strictly adhere to due process in handling disciplinary matters.
Party leadership emphasized that the decision underscores its commitment to internal cohesion as it prepares for upcoming political activities.
