NPP Stalwart Says Afoko Can Unite the Party
lawyer Juanah, head of Friends of Bawumia, asserts veteran NPP member Afoko can reconcile disgruntled members after key losses.
A leading New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart, Lawyer Juanah, has said that only a veteran party figure like Kwame Afoko can successfully unite the NPP when tempers run high. The comment was made in the context of describing members who have recently lost key positions within the party and are behaving as if the NPP were their personal possession. Juanah said these disgruntled elements are lobbying for influence but emphasized that the party must be managed by those who have built it over the years.
The NPP stalwart stressed that unity is essential for the party's survival and electoral success, warning that without reconciliation, the NPP risks fragmenting and losing the mandate it gained in 2020. He argued that older, experienced members like Afoko have the credibility and understanding of the party's grassroots to bring warring factions together.
The call for Afoko's leadership comes at a time when the NPP is grappling with internal power struggles ahead of next year's general elections. The party has seen several high‑profile members publicly express dissatisfaction with recent administrative decisions, prompting concerns among analysts about potential defections if not addressed promptly.
If the party fails to heed calls for reconciliation, observers predict a widening rift that could weaken its structure and diminish its chances of retaining political power in the upcoming elections.
