‘I’m Ready to Be Sacked by NPP’ – Butey Reveals Frank Davis Apologised Over Constitutional Amendment

Former National First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Smith Danquah Butey, has disclosed that he is prepared to face disciplinary action from the party over his position on the proposed constitutional amendment.

Mr Butey said he was ready to be sacked by the NPP if his stance on the amendment resulted in sanctions, insisting that he would not abandon his position on the matter.

Speaking on issues arising from the party’s 2026 National Delegates Conference, the former party executive revealed that Frank Davis had approached him before the amendment process and apologised to him, asking him to accept the proposed changes.

“I’m ready to be sacked by the NPP. But before this amendment, Frank Davis came to me, apologised and asked me to accept it,” Mr Butey stated.

His comments add another dimension to the ongoing discussions surrounding the proposed constitutional changes and disagreements over their adoption within the party.

Mr Butey has been vocal in his opposition to the amendment, previously warning that he would resort to legal action if anyone signed the proposed changes.

“If anyone signs the constitutional amendment, I will take the NPP party to court,” he earlier stated.

He has also maintained that the proposed amendment would not work, indicating that the process should be postponed until the party’s next conference.

The latest disclosure raises questions about the discussions that took place among party figures ahead of the proposed amendment and the efforts made to secure acceptance of the changes.

However, Mr Butey did not provide further details about the apology he said he received from Frank Davis or specify the particular provisions of the amendment that prompted his opposition.

It remains unclear whether the NPP leadership will respond to his latest comments or what steps the party intends to take regarding the proposed constitutional changes.

The issue is expected to remain part of discussions within the NPP as members consider the party’s constitution and internal decision-making processes.
