A former staunch supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Hopeson Adorye, has rejected calls by the National Council of the party for all suspended members to return.
The NPP recently granted amnesty to its members who were suspended across the country in a bid to forge unity and reorganise the party ahead of the 2028 general elections following its historic defeat at the 2024 polls.

Reacting to this, Hopeson Adorye, who is now a proud member of the newly formed Movement for Change, vowed never to return to the party ever again.
Speaking to Starr FM on Monday, August 18, 2025, Mr Adorye said he would rather join the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) than return to the NPP.
"I would rather join NDC than return to NPP," he reportedly said.

He further advised Ghanaian youth against joining the NPP, saying they stifle progress.
"If you are a youth in Ghana and want to progress in politics, don't ever think of joining the NPP," he said.

Hopeson Adorye left the NPP to join the Movement for Change in the run-up to the 2024 election.
He reportedly pitched camp with the Movement for Change after his preferred presidential candidate, John Alan Kyerematen, lost the NPP flagbearer race in November 2023 to the then former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Alan Kyerematen and his supporters, including Hopeson Adorye, accused the NPP of manipulating the electoral process to favour Dr Bawumia in the 2023 presidential primary.
The group consequently left the NPP to form the Movement for Change and contested the presidential elections.
The NPP is hoping to go into the 2028 elections with a united front by extending an olive branch to all of its disgruntled members to return, but Hopeson Adorye has said that the group who left to join Alan Kyerematen will never rejoin the party.

In a related development, YEN.com.gh reported that a former chairman of the NPP, Paul Afoko, reacted to the party’s decision to grant amnesty to its suspended members across the country.
Paul Afoko, who was suspended as chairman of the NPP in October 2015, welcomed the amnesty.
However, he questioned why the amnesty came with a condition that prevented the suspended returnees from contesting in any internal party elections.
