The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Bantama, Henry Kwabena Kokofu, has dispelled speculations that he has resigned from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr. Kokofu told Kasapafmoline.com in a telephone conversation not to give credence to a purported letter announcing his official resignation from the elephant family.
A letter dated October 1, 2016 said to have emanated from the Bantama MP and gone viral on social media in part said “I wish to formally communicate to all stakeholders of the NPP that, I resign as a member from the party with effect from today.”
“I wish to thank all who supported me during my time as a candidate and also a member of parliament for the Bantama constituency. I have to embark on a personal project and I think it will be a rightful decision to resign and concentrate fully on this mission.”
“I feel many people now question my loyalty to the NPP; upon my decision to run as an independent parliamentary candidate. I equally doubt that, I can remain loyal to the party and it is prudent I resign and then focus on my personal mission. Though I hope to win, but, I would rejoin the party in the event that I lose the upcoming election.”But the Bantama legislator said there is no iota of truth in the purported letter said to have been authored by him.
The MP on Friday, September 30, 2016 filed his nomination to contest in the parliamentary election as an independent candidate.
His action has been described as shocking by followers of the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition since the party has filed a candidate to represent it in the December 7 parliamentary election.
Kokofu lost to his opponent, Daniel Aboagye, in the party’s parliamentary primaries held last year.

Yes you have, tweerp. Your selfishness has indeed exposed you and will encourage party to suspend you indefinitely.
Change is really coming. the unity candle is on and leading us to change. Thumbs up hon.
What warped presentation. You have filled to contest and divide the NPP votes and at the same time talk about loyalty to the party. Such unintelligent thinking must be reserved for the mentally challenged people. The party is supreme and the one put up by it is the one to be supported. Go to Naa Torshie of Tema for advise. She lost after all the wrangling and after the final verdict now goes onto the campaign platform to show public support for her opponent fellow party member. People like you have always infested NPP with evil deeds. If you are not allowed to score a goal you must spoil your team and play for the opponent. You are now a proven saboteur who doesn't deserve to be within NPP. Go to hades
N,P, WILL WIN ELECTION 2016, FROM GHANA A PEOPLE
THANKS FOR HON KOKOFU. THE ONE MILLION ASHANTI VOTES IS NOW A REALITY. THE POT IS ALSO BREWING AT KWADASO.
