Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has officially been referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) for further action following her recent media engagements about party issues.

The NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, charged its members and sympathizers to cease discussions of the party's internal issues and challenges following their heavy defeat to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 elections.

In a statement shared on March 20, Mr Kodua, in reference to Article 10(7)(5)  of the Party’s constitution, which emphasizes the importance of unity and discipline within the party, urged members to "immediately cease discussing Party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms.”

Acknowledging the impact of their defeat on members, he reminded them of their duty to defend the party’s reputation, as outlined in Article 3(5) of the Constitution, and warned that anyone who disobeys this directive will face disciplinary action.

“Going forward, the National, Regional, and Constituency Party leadership shall respectively refer any member who violates this directive to the appropriate disciplinary committees of the Party,” parts of the statement read.

The General Secretary’s warnings come at a time when, after over three months of losing power to the NDC, members still discuss and deliberate on the circumstances, actions, and inactions that led to the party’s ‘embarrassing’ defeat in the just-ended elections.

In an interview with the media, Sarah Adwoa Safo, accused the party leadership of orchestrating her loss in the parliamentary primaries, citing her prolonged absence from Parliament as a misunderstood issue. She also berated her former contender, Mike Oquaye, for disrespecting her on several platforms in his bid to become the party's representative in the 2024 parliamentary elections.

Also, Dr. Stephen Amoah, Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, has openly criticized certain individuals within the party, threatening to expose those he believed were responsible for the defeat.
