The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says it is not alarmed by the United Party\u2019s decision to reject its offer of amnesty to former members who broke away from the party, insisting the move was only meant to reconcile suspended members, not defectors.<\/p>\n

According to the National Youth Organiser of the NPP, Mustapha Salam, the party remains confident and unshaken despite the stance taken by Alan Kyerematen\u2019s party regarding the amnesty extended to suspended and estranged members.<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoyFM\u2019s Top Story<\/strong><\/em> on Thursday, October 16, Mr. Salam said the NPP\u2019s decision to grant amnesty was a strategic effort to promote unity within the party ahead of future political activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that we are panicked at all. As a political party, we understand the need for internal cohesion. A number of suspensions were done before and during the election, and we thought that looking at where we were as a party, it was prudent to clean up our slate and offer amnesty to all members who had pending issues before the disciplinary committee or who, for one reason or another, were suspended,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Salam clarified that the amnesty was not targeted at members who voluntarily resigned from the NPP, noting that such individuals must formally apply if they wish to rejoin.<\/p>\n
