New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ma So Fa, Back to the Drawing Table

The NDC, in my view, is involved in a series of troubling and poorly managed issues:

a. Failed promises.
b. A false and unsustainable stabilization of the US dollar.

c. Uncontrolled galamsey, resulting in severe pollution of water bodies and the destruction of previously arable lands—leading to depleted food reserves and increased dependence on food imports.

d. Internal wrangling over who succeeds President John Mahama.

(See Kwesi Pratt’s TikTok commentary referenced on GhanaWeb, Politics section, Sunday, September 20, 2026.)

e. A struggling economy, with citizens across the country feeling the impact.

f. International cocaine busts in Australia, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, allegedly linked to Ghana.

With all these issues—and more likely to emerge—the NPP must get its act together and begin preparing seriously for the 2028 elections.

A critical question remains: What has the Party done to address the reasons behind the decline in parliamentary seats in both the 2020 and 2024 elections?

The Party mishandled the Alan Kyerematen issue, standing by while some individuals pushed the “ɔbɛko a ɔnko” narrative. How can any party win a political battle with a fragmented army?

Any seasoned political consultant will affirm that electoral victory depends on two groups: your core party members and the undecided (floating) voters. Former President J.A. Kufuor emphasized this toward the end of his administration.

Another unresolved matter is the Kennedy Agyapong issue. Is the Party once again resorting to the same “ɔbɛkɔ a ɔnkɔ” refrain? Are there truly no political strategists within the Party capable of negotiating for peace and unity?

History shows that nations go to war, lives are lost, people are maimed, and economies suffer—but eventually, leaders set aside their egos and return to the negotiating table so peace can prevail.

Even in the United States, Vice President Vance and President Trump exchanged harsh accusations during their individual campaigns, yet ultimately came together as one team and won the 2024 elections.

Meanwhile, the entire nation is suffering due to what many perceive as the incompetence of the NDC/JDM administration—while the alternative, the “we have the men” Party, struggles to organize itself.

As the NPP votes today at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, delegates must remember to elect leaders who can unite the fragmented Party.

Please vote for leaders who will be in sync with the grassroots.
