Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has sounded an urgent call for the party’s leadership to reassess the ongoing 'Thank You Tour', warning that it is veering off course and threatening the unity of the party.

In a statement issued on Monday, April 28, 2025, Agyarko described the tour, originally intended to reignite the spirit of party faithful and reconnect with grassroots supporters, as now degenerating into episodes of "discord, blame-shifting, and internal strife."

“What was intended to restore our party’s shine and reconnect us with the grassroots is instead unraveling into bouts of discord, blame-shifting, and internal strife," he lamented.

Agyarko cautioned that this regrettable turn of events risks causing "serious collateral damage" to the very fabric of the party. He also warned that the goodwill and trust the NPP has painstakingly built among Ghanaians is being eroded.

More urgently, he called on party leaders to act "swiftly and decisively" to correct the situation. Stressing the need for immediate intervention, Agyarko stated: "It is time to apply the brakes and reassess the direction of the Thank You Tour. We must pull back from what increasingly looks like an imminent collision course and chart a path that upholds the unity, dignity, and forward-looking spirit of our tradition."

He proposed a "carefully recalibrated approach" that would emphasize genuine reconciliation, solidarity, and purposeful engagement. According to him, renewing the party’s collective resolve is essential to ensuring that the mission of the Thank You Tour reflects the proud legacy of the NPP.

"Let us seize this moment to renew our collective resolve and ensure that the mission of the Thank You Tour is accomplished in a manner worthy of our party’s proud legacy," he concluded.

Agyarko’s intervention comes at a critical moment for the NPP as internal tensions appear to be mounting in the aftermath of the 2024 elections, raising concerns among supporters about the party's future cohesion and direction.
