The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has distanced itself from comments attributed to the Member of Parliament for Asante Akim South, Kwaku Asante Boateng, describing them as unfortunate.
In a statement issued by the Party’s National Secretariat and signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on November 1, the NPP reaffirmed its longstanding commitment to inclusivity, equality, and national cohesion.
“The National Secretariat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has noted with concern certain comments attributed to the Honourable Member of Parliament for Asante Akim South, Kwaku Asante Boateng, and considers such a statement unfortunate. The Party, therefore, disassociates itself from those remarks,” the statement said.
It added that the NPP remains steadfast in its dedication to building a society where every Ghanaian can meaningfully participate in national development.
“As a political tradition founded on the principles of freedom, justice, democracy, and equal opportunity, the Party remains dedicated to fostering a society where every Ghanaian, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or social background, can participate meaningfully in the governance and development of our nation,” it noted.
Reiterating its values, the NPP stressed that membership and recognition within the Party are determined not by identity but by commitment and service.
“The Party emphasises that political membership and recognition within the NPP are not defined by personal attributes or identity, but by one’s loyalty, commitment, and service to the Party’s ideals and the national interest. The NPP, therefore, welcomes all citizens who subscribe to its core values and principles and are willing to contribute to the advancement of Ghana’s democratic and developmental agenda,” the statement concluded.
