NPP directs party flags to fly at half-mast

The leadership of the New Patriotic Party has directed that all party flags at all regional and constituency offices across the country should be flown at half-mast, effective Tuesday, February 9, 2016, to Monday, February 15, 2016.

This is in honour of the memory the late Mr. Ben Kwaw, NPP acting Western Regional Chairman, and the late Hon. Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu, NPP Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, who passed away within the last couple of days.

A statement signed by the party's Acting National Chairman, Mr Freddie Blay, expressed condolences to the families of the deceased.

'We mourn and stand together with the families of our departed patriots in this moment of shock and grief,' the statement said. 

Regarding the murder of Mr J. B. Danquah Adu, the party was optimistic that the police would swiftly investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators of the crime to book.

The statement further called on party members to remain calm and avoid any form of 'unnecessary and possibly harmful speculations.'
