Afoko can unite NPP’s factions, says Charles Owusu Juanah

Charles Owusu Juanah, a private legal practitioner and longtime New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporter, believes that former NPP National Chairman Paul Afoko is playing a crucial role in uniting the party's disparate factions. Juanah, who heads the Friends of Bawumia, noted that divisions within the party have necessitated the need for a leader capable of bringing together its various factions.

He stated that Afoko possesses the necessary relationships and experience to undertake such reconciliation efforts and has already initiated contact with members from opposing camps. Juanah emphasized that Afoko's engagement with rival groups signifies a focus on rebuilding the party rather than exacerbating existing divisions. He expressed confidence in Afoko's foresight, vision, and strategy, asserting that Afoko possesses the qualities required to ensure a united front ahead of the 2028 elections.

Juanah pointed out that Afoko's approach demonstrates an understanding of the importance of a leader who engages different factions without considering political disagreements as permanent divisions. He highlighted Afoko's extensive network across the party, suggesting that it could help bring back members who feel alienated. Juanah underscored the significance of the reconciliation effort, emphasizing that the NPP would require a united internal structure as it prepares for the 2028 elections.

He emphasized that Afoko's engagement with members from rival camps aligns with the former chairman's "Reunite, Rebuild, and Recapture" message.
