Appiah-Kubi Baidoo, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Sefwi Akontombra Constituency in the Western North Region, has officially resigned from the party, citing years of maltreatment.
In a letter addressed to the constituency chairman of the NPP, Baidoo said the decision to leave the party follows prolonged mistreatment of both himself and his immediate family, despite numerous appeals to the party’s leadership.
“This decision has been arrived at following years of maltreatment meted out to me and my immediate family by the party. All efforts, including written appeals to get the attention of the National Executives, have yielded no results,” he stated.
Baidoo expressed his appreciation to the NPP for the opportunity to serve in various capacities, including as a District Chief Executive and as a three-time parliamentary candidate for the constituency.
He also extended an unreserved apology to his supporters and sympathisers, acknowledging that his departure may come as a disappointment after over two decades of political activity within the party.
“I unreservedly apologise to the thousands of supporters and sympathisers who have been with me through thick and thin over the last two decades and who will in one way or another be affected by my resignation,” he said.
Mr Baidoo concluded his letter by wishing the party well in its future endeavours.
The resignation adds to the growing list of internal resignations and grievances within the NPP as it prepares for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
