Our democracy is in danger if the NPP is weakened any further – Paul Afoko
New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman hopeful Paul Afoko has warned that Ghana's democracy could be at risk if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) fails to rebuild and regain public confidence.
National Chairman hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Afoko, has expressed grave concerns about Ghana's democracy in the wake of the party's electoral defeat. Speaking to JoyNews, Mr Afoko argued that the weakening of the NPP could leave the country without a robust political balance, stating that Ghana's democracy hinges on the strength of its opposition.
He felt compelled to contest for the party's national chairmanship due to his conviction that the NPP was at risk of becoming a one-party dominant entity, with an overbearing majority in Parliament. Mr Afoko emphasized that factionalism and personal grievances have damaged the NPP and urged the party to put aside these differences to rebuild and reclaim lost ground.
He recounted a journalist's question regarding the party's dwindling appeal among young supporters, which he felt served as a "wake-up call" for the NPP to reconnect with the electorate.
