  "account": "Former Effia MP and former Public Enterprises Minister Joseph Cudjoe has called on members and leaders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to turn the internal loyalty and unity expected during party elections into a permanent culture. In a Facebook post on October 5, Cudjoe stated that loyalty to the NPP should not be treated as a temporary strategy during election seasons, but rather as a consistent approach. He urged members and leaders to regularly assess the consequences of their public statements and actions on the party's cohesion. Cudjoe challenged all party members to ask themselves a simple question every day: \"Am I strengthening the NPP by what I say and do, or am I weakening it?\" While he encouraged vigorous internal competition, he cautioned against allowing disputes to fracture the party. Cudjoe suggested that members could hold opposing views while still respecting one another. He emphasized that the NPP's post-election priority now is to build a stronger and more united organization following its defeat in the 2024 general election and subsequent reorganization. His message was clear: \"When the dust of internal elections settles, our goal must always remain the same: an NPP that is stronger, more united, and ready to win.\"",
