The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called remarks attributed to Kwaku Asante Boateng, the Member of Parliament for Asante Akim South, “unfortunate” and distanced itself from them.
The NPP reiterated its longtime commitment to “inclusivity, equality, and national cohesion” in a statement released on November 1 by the Party’s National Secretariat and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong.
“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 and disassociates itself from those remarks,” the statement reads.
According to the Party, it is still committed to creating a society in which all Ghanaians may actively contribute to the advancement of the country.
“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 stated.
The NPP reaffirmed its principles, emphasizing that commitment and service, not membership, determine acceptance and recognition inside the Party.
“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 added.
The Party reassured Ghanaians that it remains a political organisation rooted in unity and progress.
