NDC cannot defeat a united NPP — Osahen Afenyo-Markin calls for unity behind Bawumia

Minority Leader in Parliament and Effutu MP, Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to unite behind the party's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, ahead of the next general election.

According to him, the NPP's ability to return to power depends largely on the unity of its members and supporters across the country.

Addressing party faithful in Sefwi-Wiawso in the Western North Region on Saturday, June 20, the Minority Leader said internal divisions within the party could weaken its chances of defeating the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).

"The NDC cannot defeat a united party. We are one NPP, let us rally behind Dr Mahamudu Bawumia," he said.

Osahen Afenyo-Markin said the party's strength lies in its unity and urged supporters in the Western North Region and across the country to remain committed to the NPP's cause.

The Effutu lawmaker also criticised the performance of the governing party, questioning whether it had fulfilled its campaign promises to Ghanaians.

"We should ask ourselves, is the NDC delivering on its promises? The NDC is a complete scam. They are 419 people. They come to you and lie to you and when you give them power, they do nothing," he stated.

He further appealed to party members to close ranks and support the leadership of Dr. Bawumia, stressing that only a united NPP could effectively challenge the NDC in future elections.

"But they can only achieve that if we ourselves are divided. So today, in Sefwi-Wiawso, I speak to the entire region on behalf of the flagbearer, on behalf of Parliament, on behalf of all the elders of the party and plead with you to unite," he stressed.
