Fomena MP-elect will be taken through the process if he wants to rejoin NPP - John Boadu
General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) John Boadu says that Andrew Amoako Asiamah, the Member of Parliament (MP)-elected for Fomena in the Ashanti region, can choose to apply for membership if he wants to rejoin and the leadership of the party will take him through the process.After contesting as an independent candidate and finally winning the seat, the talk of the MP-elect for Fomena has escalated since yesterday.
Philip Ofori Asante of the NPP and Christiana Appiagyei of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who voted 10,798 and 2,608 votes respectively, managed to win 12,805 of the total votes cast by beating his contenders.
John Boadu said, speaking in an interview, that the National Executive Committee is the only body that can determine the fate of a Member of Parliament.
“He still insists that he is a party member but by his actions, he forfeited his membership. He can reapply, he can decide to join us. It is not a decision that can be taken by another body on the National Executive Committee. It is early days yet but if he clearly shows up to join the party, we will take him through the process and see what can be done about it”, he explained.
Andrew Amoako Asiamah, alleging machinations to get him back, withdrew from the NPP's primaries.
Andrew Amoako Asiamah, dissatisfied with the decision, lost in the party's primaries held in June 2020 and filed as an independent candidate in the December elections.
