We’re sorry for sacking you – NPP begs Fomena MP

Leaders of the New Patriotic Party ( NPP) have apologized to the Member of Parliament for Fomena Andrews Asiamah Amoakoh for suspending him from the party and Parliament.

Mr. Asiamah did not contest the NPP primary ahead of the 2020 polls and the NPP was instead represented by Philip Ofori-Asante.

He defied the party to contest as an independent candidate.

The Speaker of Parliament subsequently removed the MP from Parliament after the NPP demanded the invocation of its constitutional provision that makes a seat vacant after an MP leaves the party that sponsored one’s candidature.

Commenting on this, Majority Leader of Parliament Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu said the party has eaten a humble pie and has admitted that it erred and has since said sorry to the Fomena Member of Parliament.

“The party has eaten the humble pie. So yes, we admitted that our decision to expel him from the party and parliament was wrong. The position of the party is that let’s trace our steps back. The party has taken a decision to unwind. We said to him that we are sorry,” he revealed while dismissing claims of a hung Parliament in the 8th Parliament in 2021.
