Michael Agyeman Kweku Afful, the Assin North Constituency Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has resigned.
The resignation letter, which was copied to the regional chairman, constituency executives, Electoral Area coordinators and polling station executives of the party, has been sighted by the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
Mr. Afful said he resigned to maintain peace to make the party more attractive in order not to negatively affect the electoral fortunes of the party.
He said “it has become necessary for me to embark on the foregoing decision to enable some elements within the Constituency Executive Committee to have their way.”
He, however, gave assurance that regardless of his resignation, he would remain a staunch member of the party and continue to offer his unalloyed support and unrivalled loyalty.
He also said he would work assiduously with the rank and file of the party to galvanise more grassroots support to sway more floating voters to ensure overwhelming electoral victory in the 2020 polls.
“Much as I have resigned my post, I will continue to remain a loyal and active member of our political fraternity with rejuvenated and sustained zeal to champion the party’s cause as we work hard, pray and hope for yet another victory in 2020 polls.”
Mr Afful called for unity among the party faithful to maintain cohesion and accelerate development to improve the wellbeing of the people.
He further thanked the party, especially the grassroots for their unflinching support for him, saying “I thank you all for the solid internal group cohesion, the unequal rapport and the brotherliness that existed from opposition to government.”
