The New Patriotic Party (NPP) UK Branch has appointed a five-member Disciplinary Committee to handle complaints and enforce discipline within the Branch.
The committee was approved at the Branch’s Extraordinary Annual General Meeting held on Sunday, 8 November 2026 in London, following a recommendation by the Branch Executive Committee (BEC).
The committee members are:
– Mildred Otchere — Chairperson
– Rev. George Asomaning — Vice Chairperson
– Beatrice Arthur — Secretary
– Regina Mantey — Member
– Michael Gyamera-Akoto (Kaakyire) — Member
What the committee will do:
The committee will investigate complaints referred to it by the BEC and submit a written report with its findings and recommendations. The BEC will then take a decision in line with Party rules.
Its work will be guided by Article 4 of the Party Constitution and Rule 11 of the NPP UK Branch Rules.
Members who are dissatisfied with a decision can appeal to the Council of Elders, and if necessary, to the national Party.
Gender balance:
The committee is made up of three women and two men, meeting the constitutional requirement that at least two women serve on a five-member committee.
Term of office:
The committee will serve for the remainder of the current BEC term, until a new BEC is sworn in, expected in 2030.
Chairman’s charge:
Addressing the meeting, Branch Chairman Andy Owusu charged the committee to be “blind to friendship, blind to faction, and blind to fear.”
He said the NPP-UK must have “discipline without partiality, persecution and fairness to all.”
Mr. Owusu described the members as distinguished and measured patriots who “will not be afraid to act against the powerful, and not too eager to act against the weak.”
Why it matters:
The appointment comes as the NPP UK Branch seeks to strengthen internal structures, promote unity, and ensure fair handling of disputes as the party rebuilds after the 2024 general election.
