“We are being told that these people are being suspended so that they can be reinstated after the 2016 elections….after the elections will they become good leaders? What is it about the election that they are not supposed to be there now…?” Kwesi Pratt Jnr quizzes.

The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, was speaking to the issue of the latest suspension of two executives of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

On Thursday, the General Secretary and the Second Vice Chairman of the NPP were suspended indefinitely. (Read more on suspension) These two executives join the embattled National Chairman, Paul Afoko who was also suspended indefinitely a couple of weeks ago.

Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji programme Saturday, Kwesi Pratt suggested that some kingpins in the NPP had already planned to ‘get rid’ of the three executives who have been suspended.

“…that will lead you into all the secret meeting and secret recording in which long ago Bugri Naabu said that Kwabena Agyepong, Paul Afoko and Sammy Crabbe will not become part of the campaign because they don’t like Akufo Addo and they have been bought by the NDC. It turns out everything on that tape was true and I feel deeply worried about what all of these does to internal democratic practice…what does it say about political tolerance in our country” he wondered.
