Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has been ordered to appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following her recent media outburst and criticism of the party’s December 7 2024 elections defeat.
Her summons forms part of the party’s efforts to assess and investigate the effects of her statements during these media rounds on the party’s image in the eyes of right thinking Ghanaians.
A notice, jointly signed by Patrick Boamah, Secretary to the Disciplinary Committee, and William Yamoah, Director of Finance and Administration, was issued on 24 March 2025.
Her hearing is scheduled for Monday, April 7, 2025, at 11:00 am which will be held at the party’s national headquarters in Asylum Down, Accra.
The former MP has been advised to bring along any relevant documentary evidence or witnesses that could assist in the inquiry. She is also entitled to legal representation during the proceedings.
A referral letter from the party’s General Secretary has been attached to the notice for her review, and she is expected to confirm her attendance ahead of the scheduled meeting.
The NPP reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, fairness, and due process, urging full cooperation as the party seeks to uphold discipline and accountability within its ranks.
The NPP had earlier urged its members to desist from airing their dirty linen in public.
The party issued a directive to its members on Thursday, March 20, 2025. Signed by the party’s General Secretary, party faithful were urged to refrain from discussing internal party matters in the media that could lead to disaffection and unrest.
This comes in the wake of the party’s defeat in the recent elections, which has left many members expressing their frustration and disappointment publicly.
In a statement on Thursday, March 20, Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the Party emphasized the need for calm and unity among members, citing the party’s Constitution under Article 10(7)(5), which mandates coordination of party activities.
“Let us uphold the values of the NPP and work together to rebuild a stronger party for the future,” the statement read.
In a follow-up statement the same day March 20, 2025, NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong stated that Adwoa Safo’s rants defy the NPP directives.
The statement stated, “As she is aware, the directive explicitly states that all party members must cease discussing party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms. Her actions are not only in disregard of this directive but also undermine the Party’s efforts to rebuild and move forward.
“As a former Member of Parliament, Former Deputy Majority Leader, and Former Minister of State under the erstwhile NPP government, she was expected to set a good example and adhere to the principles of discipline, loyalty and unity that have always defined our great party.
“Her failure to do so not only reflects poorly on her but also in contravention of Article 3(5) of the Party’s constitution, which, among others enjoins us to promote and defend the good name of the Party.
“In breach of the above provision of the Party’s constitution and the directives issued earlier, Hon Sarah Adwoa Sarfo is hereby referred to the National Disciplinary Committee of the Party for rusher action”, the statement added.
