NPP UK Comms Officer cautions against internal division, says disunity has been NPP's main obstacle

Michael Ampadu, the newly elected Communications Officer of the NPP UK, has emphasized the importance of party unity heading into the 2028 elections. In an interview with Bethel Multimedia on 22 August, Ampadu, who secured 53.42% of the 657 valid votes cast, cautioned against internal division, stating that disunity has been the NPP's primary obstacle in the past.

He expressed his gratitude to his supporters, family, campaign team, and the Bristol chapter, while acknowledging the perspectives of those who did not vote for him. Ampadu urged the party to maintain unity, asserting that when the NPP is united, no other party can defeat them. He highlighted his experience working in Ghana, including collaboration with Frank Annoh-Dompreh, and his background in student politics, as the basis for a more organized approach to political communication.

Ampadu has also reached out to his defeated opponents, George Odoom and Thomas Owusu, to incorporate their campaign ideas into his strategy. A key component of his plan is decentralising communications through chapter-level Communications Officers, acknowledging that one person cannot handle everything alone. By doing so, he aims to strengthen the party's messaging capabilities across the UK.

Ampadu has been consulting with former and senior communicators, such as outgoing Communications Officer Kweku Bimpeh and Nana Yaw Sarpong, to leverage institutional knowledge. He emphasized that every party member is, by default, a communicator, and the Directorate will operate based on clear KPIs, targets, and deliverables, with members held accountable for their roles.
