It is a contemporary political reality, that, whenever you feel having come to the end of the road, it is not always the case that the road itself has come to an end.
Today, our beloved New Patriotic Party is saddled with avalanche of petitions against one of its stalwarts, Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong, a former Presidential Aspirant and same have been forwarded by NEC and NC to the National Disciplinary Committee in accordance with our Party’s constitution.
While I enthusiastically associate with the position of NEC and NC in this referral, I wish to appeal to the National Disciplinary Committee to solve this puzzle without creating even more complex situations for us as a Party.
The glee and haste with which some few individuals openly displayed the unfortunate “Ken must go” banner and the disrespectful spectacle of attempt by these miscreants to confront the Hon. Minority Leader, Osahen Afenyo Markin at Alisa Hotel is shameful and must be condemned in no small measure.
It must never be lost on us, that, people join political parties for varying reasons. While some associate with us by virtue of our Ideological lineage, others join because of certain individuals within the party.
The case of Hon. Alan Kyeremateng remains a nemesis yet to overcome. Whenever communicators of the newly founded United Party (UP) sit as panel members during political programmes, they seek to vent vitriolic attacks on fellow opposition NPP instead of exposing this government of National Disaster.
Whether we like it or not, there are several thousands of NPP sympathizers today whose loyalty is linked to Hon. Ken Agyapong and their affiliation to this party could undoubtedly be coterminous with the exit of Hon. Ken Agyapong as in the case of Hon. Alan Kyeremateng.
The more we objectively analyse the Presidential results of 2020 and 2024, the imminent it becomes for us to unite and close our ranks.
Our ongoing internal reorganisation has its own way of inflicting some level of profound lack of interest from within our circles.
The seeming feud, brewing harshly over this Ken issue must not further push us into another opposition term even before election 2028 beckons.
We cannot continue to be too hard on ourselves instead of exposing the NDC. When cruelty is cladded as constitutional provision, let us deliver interpretations from commonsensical and not legalistic perspective.
Going into the 2028 elections, it is the richness of our alternative policies that would masacre the NDC and not who did what in the past that could bring us down as a Party.
The Youth of the NPP cannot afford another electoral loss in 2028. Dr. Mahamoudu Bawumia must win the next election in the interest of our dear Nation.
I respectfully submit.
