The New Patriotic Party (NPP) UK Branch has set up a five-member disciplinary committee chaired by Mildred Otchere. Members approved it in London on 8 November 2026, and it will investigate complaints within the branch until 2030.
The Branch Executive Committee (BEC) recommended the appointments, and members approved them at an extraordinary annual general meeting. Rev George Asomaning is vice chairperson and Beatrice Arthur is secretary. Regina Mantey and Michael Gyamera-Akoto, known as Kaakyire, make up the rest of the committee.
The committee comes exactly three months after a close vote for the branch’s top job. Andy Owusu won the chairmanship on 8 August 2026 with 266 votes, or 40.36 per cent. Richmond Mensah polled 201 and Isaac Appiah-Kubi 192, according to results the branch’s Communications Directorate issued and Ghanamma reported on 20 August 2026. The vote covered all 16 chapters of the branch.
Owusu, now Branch Chairman, said the members were picked to form a committee that would not fear acting against the powerful and would not be too eager to act against the weak. He told them their work must be “blind to friendship, blind to faction, and blind to fear.”
The committee has no power to impose sanctions. It investigates only the complaints the BEC refers to it, gathers evidence and submits a written report with findings and recommendations. The BEC then decides each case under party rules.
Its authority comes from Article 4 of the NPP Constitution and Rule 11 of the NPP UK Branch Rules and Regulations. That is according to a statement signed by Jibril Salifu, the branch’s Deputy Communications Officer.
Members who dispute a BEC decision can appeal to the branch Council of Elders and then to the national party. At national level, the NPP’s National Disciplinary Committee, chaired by former Roads Minister Kwasi Amoako-Atta, was given two weeks on 25 June 2026 to examine petitions against former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, GBC reported.
The branch’s executives have regular contact with the national party. Presidential aspirant Joe Ghartey met the NPP UK Branch executives on 3 August 2022 to discuss party affairs.
With three women and two men, the committee meets what the branch described as a constitutional requirement for at least two women on a five-member committee.
Appointment letters told the five members to act with integrity, fairness and impartiality, and to keep proceedings strictly confidential.
The committee’s mandate ends when a new BEC is sworn in. The branch expects that in 2030.
