Persons gathered at the
Human Rights Court Two this morning experienced the shock of their lives when
Lawyer for suspended national chairman of the party, Sarfo Buabeng announced
that one of the key witnesses in the ongoing case between the NPP and suspended
Chairman, Paul Afoko has withdrawn as a witness.
Suspended Secretary of
the party, Kwabena Agyepong according to Multimedia Journalist, Raymond Acquah
has withdrawn as a witness and would no longer appear before the court to offer
his account on the case, the Lawyer announced.
This development shocked
the many who were gathered at the courtroom as Mr Agyepong was considered one
of the principal witnesses in the case.
Kwabena Agyepong was
expected to testify today [Thursday], to back Mr. Afoko’s claims that that he
was wrongfully suspended from the party.

immediately give reasons for the withdrawal of Mr Agyepong as witness in the
case.
Mr Agyepong and Mr Afoko
who were elected at a National Delegates Conference of the NPP in 2014 were
suspended indefinitely by the party last year.
Mr Afoko has sued the NPP
and its Acting National Chairman, Freddie Blay, after he was suspended
indefinitely in October last year by the party.
The party’s Disciplinary
Committee (DC) had recommended his suspension from the NPP after a petition by
two members of the party but Mr Afoko wants the court to order his re-instatement
as the National Chairman because he alleges that the party’s action was
unconstitutional.
Mr Afoko, among other
things, is contesting the issue of whether Gifty Eugenia Kusi, MP for Tarkwa
Nsuaem, was validly appointed to the National Disciplinary Committee which
recommended his suspension to the National Executive Council (NEC).
