The decision was taken by the National Executive Committee on Monday, May 10, 2021, after extensive deliberations following a letter written by Mr. Kwabena Agyepong to the Party.
Mr. Agyepong appealed to the National Executive Committee to recognize him as a former General Secretary after the expiration of his mandate as General Secretary on April 12, 2018.
