Kwadjo Asante is the Member of Parliament for the Suhum Constituency whose seat was declared vacant
The Member of Parliament for the Suhum Constituency, Kwadjo Asante, has disclosed that he was removed from the WhatsApp platform of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Caucus immediately after he filed his nomination to contest as an independent candidate in the 2024 parliamentary election.
The Suhum legislator, one of four members whose seat was declared vacant by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, indicated that it was the Chief Whip of the NPP MPs, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, who removed him from the NPP MPs platform.
“The moment I filed my documents to contest as independent, they took me off the NPP MPs platform. Annoh-Dompreh, the Chief Whip, took me off but the same person has added me back. That was about two or three days ago,” 3news.com quotes Asante to have said.
Asante mentioned that he was later re-added to the platform, but he did not inquire about the reason since no one had informed him why he was taken off in the first place.
He stated that he had remained silent on the page until rumors surfaced about him rescinding his decision to run as an independent candidate, at which point he clarified that the rumors were false.
“I haven’t spoken since they added me back and when I saw the publication of me rescinding my decision yesterday, I wrote that it was fake when it appeared on the page. It’s about me so I needed to clarify things to them.
“When he took me off he didn’t tell me so I don’t know why he added me back. Maybe my removal was a mistake,” he said.
Kwadjo Asante also clarified that he was no longer an NPP MP but an MP for the good people of Suhum. He said: “If I go to Parliament now, my tenure hasn’t ended. To the best of my knowledge, I’m serving Ghanaians. I’m not an NPP MP, I’m Suhum MP.”
