The Chair of the Disciplinary Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwasi Amoako-Attah, has remarked that the recently concluded super delegates conference was largely peaceful despite a few reported incidents.
He stated that the event held on Saturday, August 26, was approximately 99 percent peaceful, with only a small number of infractions observed.
Amoako-Attah mentioned that while there were some reported violations, the General Secretary of the party has officially brought these to the attention of the Disciplinary Committee. He noted that the committee is yet to conduct its own investigations and make decisions regarding the reported incidents.
Speaking about the overall tone of the conference, the Atiwa West Lawmaker emphasized that even though a couple of issues arose, these should not overshadow the fact that the event was predominantly peaceful. He acknowledged that while everyone hoped for a 100 percent peaceful situation, recording one or two infractions shouldn’t lead to despair.
The report also recapped an incident involving Alan Kyerematen, who came in third during the conference. Following an attack on one of his agents, Kyerematen issued a stern warning to stakeholders, expressing his unwillingness to tolerate any further attacks on his supporters in the future.
Kyerematen’s agent, Ali Zakaria, sustained an eye injury and was promptly taken to the Baptist Medical Center (BMC) for immediate treatment.
The incident was downplayed by the party’s regional branch as exaggerated. Kyerematen condemned the attack in the North East Region as an act of “total indiscipline.”
During a visit to his agent at Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, Kyerematen highlighted that the attack at the Nalerigu Senior High School had tarnished the NPP’s image. He stated that the recent events contradicted the party’s core values and expressed his concern over the lack of discipline.
Kyerematen firmly asserted that he would not tolerate such behavior in the future, expressing disbelief that the party couldn’t maintain a peaceful and organized selection process for a leader.
He also revealed his disturbance over the incident, emphasizing that the party should not downplay what had occurred.
