Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the minority leader, has admitted the New Patriotic Party (NPP) made mistakes.
Afenyo Markin bemoaned that the NPP made mistakes, but it is not a broken party.
He rallied the NPP members to reclaim the spirit of unity, discipline and shared purpose.
According to Afenyo Markin, the NPP needs sober reflection and radical unity and a rebrand.
Speaking at the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Delegates Conference in Accra on Saturday, July 19, Afenyo Markin stated, “Let’s move with one voice. We’re in a season that demands sober reflection and radical unity. This is a time to rebuild, reconnect with the grassroots, re-engage with the base and reconnect with Ghanaians with a bold new vision for the future. With unity, we become a force; unity doesn’t mean uniformity, but loyalty to a shared purpose.
We must rebrand ourselves with better results and strong character. We must rebuild together, anchored in our values that no individual is bigger than the NPP, and that belief must reflect our language, tone, strategy and posture towards one another.
Internal discord, suspicions, and disunity have cost us. We made mistakes, but we’re not a broken party; we’re only a battle-tested party. We’re not a party of despair. Let’s end hate campaigns. We must reclaim the spirit of unity, discipline and shared purpose.”
He further stated, the NDC is a failure and Ghana deserves better.
According to the minority leader, the NDC betrayal is glaring as they have increased fuel levies, crashing Ghanaians.
Afenyo Markin added, “The NDC’s betrayal is glaring. New levies on fuel have sparked pump prices, crashing ordinary Ghanaians.”
“Their pledge to end galamsey has crashed into chaos. The president calls it a national emergency, yet refuses to declare a state of emergency,” Afenyo-Markin said.
“They have vowed to reset our nation, but it has become a brazen assault on our judiciary—starting with the shameful vilification of our Chief Justice,” he stated.
He charged, “Their promise of change is a sham, with schemes afoot to funnel our mineral wealth to their cronies”.
“Worst of all, the questionable Ablekuma North rerun where NDC-affiliated thugs attacked our candidate Nana Akua Afriyie and former MP Hawa Koomson,” he added.
The Minority Leader went on delivering a blunt assessment of the NDC’s leadership, insisting “The message is clear—NDC is a failure, Ghana deserves better.”
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced an expansion to its Electoral College that will select its presidential candidate for the 2028 election.
