NPP Chairman Takes Temporal Break From All Political Activities Due To Health Concerns

The family of Stephen Ayensu Ntim, National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has requested his temporary withdrawal from all party duties, citing deteriorating health and the need for urgent medical attention and rest.

In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the NPP Council of Elders and dated June 16, 2025, the Ntim family emphasized Mr. Ntim’s long-standing dedication to the party, tracing his contributions from his early days as the First National Deputy Chairman to his current leadership role.

 

However, they expressed grave concern over his recent health complications, describing him as “not well at the moment” and currently experiencing “cognitive dissonance and mental incapacitation.”

 

The letter, signed jointly by key family members including Kingsley Oteng (Family Head), Adelaide Ntim (MP), and other close relatives, strongly opposed his participation in any party engagements, specifically a scheduled NPP meeting at Alisa Hotel on June 17, which Mr. Ntim was expected to chair.

They argue that attending or chairing such a high-profile event in his current state would not only be medically unsafe but could infringe on his personal rights.

“Common sense dictates that Steve, as a matter of urgency, be temporarily excused, not only from the rigors of active politics, but from intra-party activities in order to make way for needed peace and solace and for concentration on the ongoing required medical treatment process,” the letter read.

The family called on the NPP leadership to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and act in Mr. Ntim’s best interest by allowing him time to recover, while his future with the party remains under consideration
