Kwabena Owusu Aduomi finally returns to NPP
Independent parliamentary candidate in the 2024 Ejisu by-election, Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, has agreed to return to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This decision comes after his reconciliation with the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Council of Elders on Monday, August 5, 2024.
Mr Owusu Aduomi lost his bid to win the Ejisu by-election to private legal practitioner Francis Kwabena Boateng on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
The by-election was called due to the unfortunate passing of the former MP, Mr. John Kumah.
Aduomi, a former three-time NPP Member of Parliament for the constituency, chose to run as an independent candidate in the Ejisu by-election due to what he perceived as the NPP’s failure to address critical concerns about the existing delegates’ list.
Some NPP members accused him of betrayal and suggested he had defected to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a statement issued by the Ashanti Regional Council of Elders, on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, Mr Aduomi promised to ensure the return of his supporters to the party.

“Engineer Owusu Aduomi respectfully responded to overtures made by the Council of Elders and honoured an invitation by the Council aimed at getting him back into the fold. In a meeting characterised by frank and open discussions of issues that have happened in the past.
“Owusu Aduomi announced to the delight of the members of the Council of Elders that, he had put everything behind him and went on to announce his return to the party unconditionally. He emphasised that his umbilical cord is planted in NPP and that the NPP runs through the veins of his blood. Furthermore. Engineer Owusu Aduomi pledged to talk to his supporters and bring them back to the party”.
After the by-election, the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ntim, had pledged reconciliation with Mr Aduomu.
