Ghana's December 2024 elections have been a rollercoaster ride, filled with so much unexpected twists and turns; with the latest bombshell coming from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), which has expelled a whopping 280 members, including the former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Hon. Cynthia Mamle Morrison.
This drastic decision has sent shockwaves through Ghanaians and also the party's ranks; raising questions about the internal dynamics of the NPP.
Hon. Cynthia Morrison, a seasoned politician and member of parliament for the Agona West constituency, in the Central Region has been a key figure in the rulling NPP. Her expulsion from the party is a significant development, especially considering her past contributions to the party.
So, what led to this dramatic turn of events? According to reports, Hon. Morrison had announced her decision to contest the 2024 parliamentary election as an independent candidate after losing the NPP primary elections to Mr. Chris Arthur. This move may have been seen as a breach of party discipline, leading to her expulsion.
The implications of this decision are far-reaching. The expulsion of 280 members, including Morrison, is a significant blow to the NPP's strength in the Agona West constituency. It remains to be seen how this development will impact the party's performance in future elections.
The 2024 Ghanaian general election has been a highly contested and dramatic event, with several parties vying for power. The election saw the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as the main contenders, with Mahamudu Bawumia and John Mahama as their respective presidential candidates.
As Ghana navigates the aftermath of the election, one thing is clear: the country's political landscape is undergoing a significant shift. The expulsion of Morrison and 280 other NPP members is just the beginning, and it will be interesting to see how this development unfolds in the coming days and weeks.
