The Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nabdam Constituency has officially resigned.
Denis Kolog Ontoyen Yennilorgit, a man once considered a pillar of the party in the area, has resigned, citing a profound lack of appreciation and respect from the very leadership he served.
In a succinct but weighty resignation letter dated February 17, 2026, titled “Resignation as Constituency Chairman Nabdam,” Mr. Ontoyen made his decision official. “I, Denis Ontoyen Kolog, hereby tender my resignation letter as Constituency Chairman of Nabdam effective 17th February 2026,” the letter stated. While he graciously acknowledged the opportunity to serve, writing, “I appreciate the opportunity to have served the party and the people of Nabdam in this role. I am committed to supporting my successor,” the circumstances surrounding his exit tell a far more painful story.
Speaking exclusively to ApexNewsGh, a visibly disheartened Mr. Ontoyen pulled back the curtain on the silent struggles that led him to walk away from a party he once fervently fought for. He revealed that his decision was not sudden, but a painful culmination of years of feeling invisible to the party hierarchy, both at the Constituency and Regional levels.
According to the former chairman, his dedication to the party came at a great personal cost. Far from reaping any rewards of political office, his tenure was marked by financial hardship.
“Since I became party chairman, I have become poorer,” he confessed. He explained that his commitment to the party’s well-being meant he could never turn away a fellow party member in need, often depleting his own resources to offer support. He said, unfortunately, his efforts are unnoticed and not appreciated.
However, the final, crushing blow was the party’s deafening silence in the wake of his resignation. Mr. Ontoyen revealed that despite submitting his letter on February 17th, not a single soul from either the Constituency or the regional office has reached out to him. No phone call. No visit. No inquiry into why a man who had given so much had decided to leave.
“According to actions alone, the level of disrespect I have witnessed as a Constituency party chairman,” he lamented, his words painting a stark picture of a loyal servant left to walk away without a second glance. His resignation now leaves a void in the Nabdam Constituency, but more importantly, it raises uncomfortable questions about the value the party places on its grassroots leaders.
