You won’t believe who just threatened to sue the NPP over constitutional amendments

Former Acting National Chairman and 1st Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Joseph Danquah Smith Butey, has threatened legal action against the party over disputed constitutional amendments.

Speaking on the aftermath of the party’s National Delegates Conference, Chairman Butey expressed strong opposition to procedural irregularities surrounding the adoption of key constitutional changes.

He declared that he is fully prepared to face expulsion or suspension from the party hierarchy for standing up against the unapproved constitutional modifications.

"I am ready to be sacked or suspended. I am fighting for the rights of the people of the party, so they should do all they want," Butey asserted.

He contended that the delegates conference did not follow proper constitutional procedure in declaring the disputed amendments approved by consensus.

"The party people do not accept what happened on Saturday. There were no 'ayes', but they said it was 'yes'," he maintained.

Butey revealed that party constitutional committee chairman Frank Davis previously approached him to apologize and seek his endorsement for the amendments, which he firmly rejected.

He emphasized that preserving procedural integrity and protecting grassroots rights remains far more important than protecting his personal standing or executive role within the party.

The veteran party leader warned that if the party administration fails to address the procedural flaws, he will drag the NPP to court to seek legal redress.

The internal rift emerges amid transition efforts following the election of a new national executive team tasked with leading the party toward the 2028 general elections.
