This Can't be a Party That I fell Love Into - Hanson Dartey on Resignation From NPP

-

Hanson Dartey, the Youth Organizer Diaspora of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Spain, has tendered his resignation from the party with immediate effect. 

In a resignation statement, Dartey clarified that his decision to step down stems from his belief that the party has veered drastically away from its fundamental values and principles.

Expressing his disillusionment with the current state of the NPP, Dartey elucidated that the party's trajectory diverges significantly from the ethos that initially drew him to the party in 1996. 

He lamented that in his view, the NPP has regrettably embraced tendencies of avarice and malfeasance, leading to a departure from the values of integrity and national development that initially defined the party.


Dartey highlighted the erosion of key principles such as anti-corruption endeavors and national progress within the party's ranks. His resignation resonates with a poignant critique of what he perceives as an individualistic shift within the NPP, where personal agendas appear to overshadow collective interests.

This departure from the legacy of esteemed leaders like Dr. Busia, J.B Danquah, Da Rocha, and J.H Mensah, whom he admired, has disheartened Dartey, prompting his decision to part ways with the party.

His departure signals a significant commentary on internal party dynamics and reflects broader sentiments within the political landscape regarding the importance of upholding principles and values in governance and leadership. 

Dartey's resignation serves as a testament to the evolving nature of political ideologies and the imperative for parties to remain true to their founding ideologies amidst changing tides of ambition and personal gain.

RESIGNATION FROM THE NEW PATROTIC PARTY 

It is with great regret that I give notice of my resignation from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), effective immediately. I apologize for not being able to give you more time and notice. I humbly ask that you accept my resignation from the position of New Patriotic Party (NPP), Spain Branch Youth Organizer.

Before l became a branch Youth Organizer, I first served as Secretary to the Barcelona Chapter and also formed part of the branch establishment. I had been an active member of the New Patriotic Party and had served as polling station agent at Sunyani West Constituency (Nsoatre R/C Primary Polling Station), 1996 -2004.


Since joining the party somewhere in 1996, I had been able to bring all my extended family from NDC to New Patriotic Party. Currently, I have two biological brothers who are serving as Coordinator and Polling station agent at Sunyani West Constituency. In 2016, I provided motorcycles for Sunyani West campaign and also sponsored 21 people to cast their votes at Dormaa West Constituency (Nkrankwanta). 

During 2004 general election, I was the polling station agent who prevented a ghost voter from voting at Sunyani West (Nsoatre R/C Primary) and as a result, clashed with then leading member of NDC in the then Brong Ahafo Region Hon, Nyamkye Maafo, who was a Regional Minister. This story was reported by print media the following day. 

I can,t resign without letting party leaders know what has led to this unfortunate decision. I am resigning because the party has failed the Ghanaian people and had become greedy and corrupt people. The values that drove me to the party such as fighting corruption and developing the country are no longer there. The party has become individualist, and leaders only think about their personal interests and ignore the group interest. This can't be a party of Dr Busia, J.B Danquah, Da Rocha and JH Mensah that I fell love into. 

My resignation takes effect immediately. 

Yours Sincerely 

Hanson Dartey
