We will consider taking sacked Fomena MP back – NPP

The NPP will consider taking back the Member of Parliament for Fomena, Andrew Amoako Asiamah should he decide to re-align with the party, John Boadu, the NPP General Secretary has said.

Mr. Asiamah lost in the NPP primaries to Philip Ofori-Asante, but won the Parliamentary elections when he contested as an independent candidate.

With the NPP failing to retain a majority in Parliament, many have wondered if the only independent candidate to make it to Parliament would take sides with his old party.

John Boadu in an interview on Accra based Citi FM said, the leadership of the governing party will decide whether to welcome Mr. Asiamah back to the fold.

“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.
