Appiah-Kubi Baidoo, former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Sefwi Akontombra Constituency, has officially resigned from the party, citing years of mistreatment and neglect by the party’s leadership.
In a resignation letter dated April 16, 2025, addressed to the Constituency Chairman of the NPP in Sefwi Akontombra, Western North Region, Mr. Baidoo expressed deep disappointment over how he and his family have been treated by the party over the years. He stated that multiple attempts to engage the party’s National Executives had failed to yield any results.
“This decision has been arrived at following years of maltreatment meted out to me and my immediate family by the party,” the letter read. “All efforts including written appeals to get the attention of the National Executives have yielded no results.”
Mr. Baidoo, who also served as a District Chief Executive, used the opportunity to thank the party for the chance to serve and to represent the constituency as its Parliamentary Candidate on three separate occasions. He expressed gratitude to his many supporters and sympathizers who stood by him through thick and thin.
“I unreservedly apologise to the thousands of supporters and sympathisers who have been with me through thick and thin over the last two decades and who will in one way or the other be affected by my resignation,” he added.
He concluded by thanking the party once more and wishing it well in its future endeavours.
Copies of the resignation letter were sent to the NPP Regional Chairman, the General Secretary at the party’s headquarters in Accra, and the media.
Appiah-Kubi Baidoo’s resignation marks a significant shift in the political dynamics of the Sefwi Akontombra Constituency, particularly as the NPP prepares for upcoming national and internal elections. His exit is expected to trigger discussions within the party and the local political landscape.
