In the suit filed by Afoko contesting his suspension, he argues that Alhaji Short and Gifty Kusi who were on the disciplinary committee were not properly appointed.
Afoko was suspended in October 2015 after the party’s disciplinary committee upheld a letter from the National Council of Elders of the party requesting that Mr. Afoko be suspended until after the 2016 election.
Afoko was accused of breaching the party’s rules and regulations in the matter of an alleged secret account managed by some party executives including now acting chairman Freddy Blay.

Afoko says Short and Kusi did not have the locus to take a decision on him.
He further wants a constitutional interpretation of the NPP's constitution as basis to declare his suspension as null and void. The case has been adjourned to the 24th of March 2016.
