Political analyst, Dr Kwame Asah-Asante, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to suspend its current activities and return to the drawing board, citing unresolved internal conflicts that threaten party cohesion and grassroots mobilisation.
Speaking on the JoyNews News Desk on Tuesday, April 29, Dr Asah-Asante stressed the urgent need for the party to re-evaluate its internal dynamics before moving forward with its broader political agenda.
“I believe they have to abort the whole programme and then get to the drawing board, get to the basis and get the basis right,” he said.
“Let them set up a body that will look out wholly [for] the conflicts that exist within the party [and] try and deal with that,” he continued.
According to Dr Asah-Asante, internal divisions within the party, if left unaddressed, could severely undermine its chances in future elections.
He warned that such issues often embolden discontented members to openly confront party leadership, thereby destabilising internal structures and weakening public perception.
“Once you deal with that, you will be inundated with a lot of calls to get the grassroots energised,” he noted.
He further noted that internal discontent within the Party (NPP) is beginning to surface publicly, as some bold party members openly challenge the leadership.
“But once there are problems there, those who are bold will come and confront the leadership — and as we are seeing, it’s playing out now,” he said.
He urged the NPP leadership to take a critical and measured approach to the situation, recommending a strategic pause and internal review as necessary first steps towards restoring unity and focus.
“I believe they have to take a critical look at this and then be measured in this regard,” he concluded.
