The National Patriotic Party (NPP) has strongly warned its expelled chairman, James Biney, to stop claiming chairmanship of the NPP.
NPP, a constituent party of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), said Mr. Biney is the Co-Chairman for the opposition Unity Party Campaign.
NPP National Chairman George Mulbah told a press conference over the weekend in Congo Town that Senator Biney is falsely presenting himself as NPP National Chairman.
He warned that it is a violation of the party’s constitution and that the party will not hesitate to seek legal redress.
Attorney Mulbah explained that Senator Biney was expelled front he NPP and he is now a Co-Chairman of the opposition Joseph Boakai Campaign Committee.
But Mulbah complained that Biney has been using the name of the NPP in the opposition camp.
He accused Biney of embarking on activities aimed at creating division in the ranks and files of the NPP.

“We have been silent thinking he will come to his senses and desist, but it seems that he is going too far and [we] will take legal action if he continues to do so,” said Atty. Mulbah.
Meanwhile, Atty. Mulbah condemned Ambassador Boakai’s threat to arrest and seize the properties of corrupt CDC government officials if he wins the presidency this October.
Mulbah said Boakai’s threat is a witch hunt of officials of the government.
For his part, NPP National Secretary General Andrew Peters said the Unity Party-led government was three times more corrupt than those Boakai believes are corrupt.
According to him, the CDC-led government can never feel threatened by Amb. Boakai because the Unity Party can never defeat the coalition in the 2023 elections.
The NPP National Secretary General concluded that the Unity Party does not have the numbers to unseat the CDC –led government.
