NPP’s move against Frimpong-Boateng raises fairness concerns – Asah-Asante

Political scientist Dr Kwame Asah-Asante has cautioned political parties, particularly the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to tread carefully in disciplining members, warning that selective application of party rules could breed perceptions of discrimination and gag dissenting voices.

Speaking on Pulse on JoyNews, Dr Asah-Asante said while political parties must enforce discipline, they must also balance that responsibility with the need to preserve unity and maintain their support base.

“Political parties are run by numbers. Members must indeed conform to the rules of the game, but you also want to balance it against the fact that you want to maintain the numbers,” he said.
