The New Patriotic Party in the Sege constituency suspended Ms. Eunice Lasi indefinitely on June 12 for misconduct.

A statement signed by the constituency chairman, Augustus A. Adjaottor indicated that the decision to suspend Ms. Lasi was a result of her consistent “insulting outburst on social media, specifically shared on various WhatsApp platforms in the constituency” which has caused “internal apathy among the party base.”

The party disclosed that Ms. Lasi blatantly disregarded the caution of the constituency chairman and secretary to tone down her “disruptive conduct.”
