Three embattled suspended executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would have their status revoked in the coming months, Joy News has gathered.
Former NPP General Secretary, Ohene Ntow told Joy News President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has served a notice to the party's National Council to have the three reinstated.
“We have had our very first joint National Executive Committee (NEC) and National Council meeting and he [Akufo-Addo] emphasized that that matter is presently being going to be handled,” he said.
Suspended NPP Chairman, Paul Afoko; General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong, and First Vice Chairman, Sammy Crabbe were not part of the party’s victory in last two weeks Wednesday’s polls.
The three have been on suspension for close to a year after the party’s NEC found them culpable of actions it considered as a misdemeanor. The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) had based part of its campaign messages on the disunity in the NPP.
President John Mahama had told Ghanaians on his campaign trails that a mandate for a party that is not united would be fatal for the future of the country. He unleashed attacks on the NPP leader as someone who was not peaceful, not a uniter and not people-loving. Ghana needs a unifier, not a divisive Akufo-Addo, Mr Mahama said of the NPP leader who swept the December 7, election.
But after the Presidential election, Nana Akufo-Addo polled 53.86 percent of the valid vote cast against 44.40 recorded by President Mahama. Mr Ntow who had spoken against the suspension of the three said he was happy the President-elect has shown the preparedness to end the infighting.
"He has given an indication that NEC and National Council has taken a cue and will deal with the matter sooner or later," he said.

What is the difference between Afoko and Crabb to Drs;Nyaho Tamakloe, Arthur k and Work Brobbey aka Tarzan. Please Nana be careful withe these traitors oooo, yoooo
So they killed Adam Mahama for nothing
I DON'T TRUST MY ELDER BROTHER; AFOKO AGAIN BUT I HOPE FOR THE BEST. FOR MY ELDER BROTHER KWABENA AGYEPONG DID WELL BY DISAGREEING WITH THE PARTY DECISION BUT DID NOT SEND US COURT OR DRAG THE PARTY NAME TO DISREPUTE. GOD BLESS GHANA AND NPP
unwise to reinstate them. they will plot for Nana's downfall
SHAME ON THEM! ESPERCIALLY AFOKO WHO SAID HE WILL NOT VOTE FOR NANA. CAN HE LOOK AT HIM IN THE FACE? THEIR STOMACKS WERE LEADING THEM. NO ONE WILL TAKE THEM SEROIUS ANYMORE. TRAITORS!
Will be an absolute bad mistake. Reinstate Afoko so soon? Is that a joke or what. Will be an insult to all who worked hard to bring the party back. And what will this say to the late Upper East regional chairman family? He died for nothing? Nana don't be a joke from the start.
Ohene Ntow himself must serve some suspension as de other 3. He was very instrumental in the plot.
They have learnt bitter lesseons from their suspension. Ghanaians have shown them that they can win elections with or without them. Their re-instatement will be good if they have shown considerable remorse and are prepared to serve the good cause of the party.
I am not so sure of the roles of the 'SUSPENDED 3'played in 'Victiry 2016'. But if the elections were won without them, then it means the majority of NPP supporters agree that their 'absence' was a good decision. Therefore NEC, be very careful not to disappoint your followers. The resultant price may be too 'high,.
NPP becareful with these guys especially Paul Afoko and Sammy Crabbe can't be trusted.
