The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Bantama, Henry Kwabena Kokofu who filed his nomination to contest in this year's election as an independent parliamentary candidate on Friday, September 30th, has rendered an unqualified to the leadership of the party for his actions.
A purported statement from the NPP MP's camp issued over the weekend read: “I wish to formally communicate to all stakeholders of the NPP that, I resign as a member from the party with effect from today (1st October, 2016). 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 beleaguered Bantama MP discounted the news stressing that he has never taken such a decision.
He told Kwami Sefa Kayi, host of PeaceFM's Kokrokoo in an exclusive interview Monday, that he has however withdrawn his nomination to contest as an independent candidate and further apologised to the NPP.
"I apologise to my flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo, leaders of the party, former President J. A. Kufuor and other people who were disturbed by the news that I had gone independent. I render an unreserved and unconditional apology to all of them" he stated.

U are a good man so pls don't let ego n selfish interest get in ur way...Remain Blessed!!!
wow smart politician.its always good to be smart
It takes someone with brains to act as you have done. Well done! Now lets focus on redeeming Ghana from these liars, ***barred word*** armatures for the sake of future generation.
...you will return when you lose the election? Why you think NPP is for losers....that is your end go where you want to go. NPP is made of great people who can win us the election and especially the Bantama seat.
Eeeeeeeih! I now don't trust these NPP communicators and MPs; So Kokofu after chastising Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong for not being loyal had the gut to file as an independent candidate? Never trust politicians. I am sure these guys know that Nana will not win the elections. This guy is finshed in NPP forever. You will never get the chance to come to peace Fm and Adom Tv again. I am pretty sure that some big wigs in NPP are doing underground campaign against Nana Addo. Hmmmmm!. We are waiting to see. You do all these diabolic acts and turn around to say that NDC rigged the elections. Inwardly, some MPs and other infleuntial people want NPP to lose. Please don't blame EC chairperson and JDM
Watch his videos on myjoyonline. he has defended Nana and NPP to the last yet he knew Nana Ado and his NPP are dangerous. If you listen to his statement had it not been Kuffour he will not withdraw his independent candidacy. Nana is terrorising them all and they can not talk. Thats Nana's NPP for you.
I HAVE ALWAYS SUSPECTED THIS GUY AND NEVER TRUSTED HIM ANYTIME HE SPEAKS. SOMEHOW I COULD NOT PUT MY FINGER ON WHAT MY GUT WAS PRODDING ME ON ABOUT!!! NOW I KNOW IT. THE CHAP IS VERY INDECISIVE!! VERY SHALLOW IN DECISION MAKING AND INDEED VERY COWARDLY!! YET HE ALWAYS PICK ON THE PRESIDENT CITING SOME ALLEGED FLAWS THE PRESIDENT REFERS TO IN HIS PUBLISHED BOOK. LICK YOUR WOUNDS.
THIS IS A WISE DECISION TO TAKE. WHEN YOU HAVE A DECISIVE LEADER THIS WHAT HAPPENS. HON. GO AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND LEAVE THE SINKING SHIP TO DRAWN.
smh
Honorable Mo! very wise man,Npp first, gentleman you are.
