Former MP Sarah Adwoa Safo Faces NPP Disciplinary Hearing Over Media Comments

Disciplinary Action Looms for Ex-Dome-Kwabenya Legislator

Accra, Ghana – Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo is scheduled to appear before the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Disciplinary Committee on April 7, 2025, following allegations of violating party directives regarding public statements.

Violation of Party Directives

The hearing, set to take place at the NPP Headquarters in Asylum Down, Accra, comes after Safo was formally referred to the disciplinary body on March 20. The referral stems from her alleged breach of a party directive prohibiting members from making media statements that could foster disaffection within the NPP.

Official Statement from NPP Leadership

NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong confirmed the disciplinary action in an official statement, citing Safo’s appearance on Joy News’ Pulse Show as a clear violation of party rules. “Her comments directly contravene our directive against media discussions that create unrest or negativity within the party,” Frimpong stated.

Expectations for Senior Members

The statement emphasized that as a former Deputy Majority Leader and Minister of State, Safo was expected to exemplify party discipline. “Her actions not only disregard our directives but also undermine our rebuilding efforts,” Frimpong added, referencing Article 3(5) of the NPP constitution which mandates members to protect the party’s reputation.

Next Steps in Disciplinary Process

The disciplinary committee will review the case to determine appropriate consequences for the alleged violations. This development marks a significant moment in the NPP’s efforts to enforce internal discipline among its ranks.
