National Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ayesu Ntim, has taken a temporary break from his position due to some health concerns he is currently battling.
The family, in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the party’s Council of Elders Monday, June 16, 2025, asked the NPP to grant Mr. Ntim a short leave of absence to exclude himself from all party activities.
His medical condition, which the family described as involving a “cognitive dissonance and mental incapacitation”, will endanger his health and infringe on his well-being and rights, should he be forced to partake in any party meetings.
The letter is signed by family members including Kingsley Oteng (the family head) and Adelaide Ntim (the MP for Nsuta/Kwaman Beposo).
Ntim’s family therefore, sets out its reason for preventing their relative from partaking in any political engagements, including a meeting which has been scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, June 17, 2025 which he was expected to chair.
“Common sense dictates that Steve, as a matter of urgency, be temporarily excused, not only from the rigours 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 family’s letter contained in some parts.
Meanwhile, the NPP is yet to issue an official response to the family’s letter.
