Suspended General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyepong, says he misses his job at the party secretariat.

According to him, although he remained suspended from the fold of the elephant family, the party was still on his heart.

“I do miss my role. It is service to my party. I still miss it,” Agyapong told journalists when he showed up at the party’s ongoing delegates’ conference at Cape Coast on Saturday, August 26, 2017.

He added: “I am [at the conference] to share the joy with them,” he told journalists.

He pointed out that, he has been a member of the party even before its establishment and “my heart and soul is in this party. I love the party.”

Kwabena Agyapong who is an engineer by profession was suspended by the disciplinary committee in the lead up to the 2016 elections over acts the party deemed inimical to their electoral fortune.

He, along with the party’s national chairman Paul Afoko and Sammy Crabbe still remain suspended indefinitely even after the party won the 2016 elections against the NDC.

Meanwhile, the party’s acting National Chairman, Freddie Blay, has said it will be unwise to bring the suspended members back.

“If you needed people to undertake the biggest battle of an election and you thought that those that were in charge will not contribute to winning so you put them aside and you put other people in charge and they go to the battle and they are victorious. I do not see the wisdom that we should go back for people we thought will not help,” he said.
