The family of Stephen Ayensu Ntim, the National Chairman of Ghana’s main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has asked for his temporary withdrawal from all party duties as a result of health issues.
In a letter dated June 16, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of the NPP Council of Elders, the family raised serious concerns about Mr. Ntim’s current condition.
The family cited “cognitive dissonance and mental incapacitation.”
According to the family, his continued participation in party activities poses a risk to his well-being and infringes on his personal rights.
Signed by family members including Kingsley Oteng (Family Head), Adelaide Ntim (MP), and other close relatives, the letter highlighted Mr. Ntim’s decades of service to the party, from his tenure as First National Deputy Chairman to his current leadership role.
Despite his unwavering dedication, the family stated, “Steve is not well at the moment,” and urged the party to excuse him from the upcoming NPP meeting scheduled for June 17 at the Alisa Hotel, 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,”according to the letter.
The family appealed to the NPP leadership to act compassionately and responsibly, urging them to recognise the seriousness of Mr. Ntim’s health challenges and prioritise his recovery before considering his return to party duties.
