Private legal expert and spokesperson for the Movement for Change, Andrew Appiah Danquah, has made it clear that he would not return to the New Patriotic Party, (NPP) because the party has lost its morale and political credibility.

Speaking on TV3 NewDay and monitored by GhanaWeb on Monday, August 18, 2025, he dismissed suggestions of his possible return to the party, stressing that the party has lost touch with its core values.

According to him, many Ghanaians who once identified with the party have become disillusioned.

"People aggregate around a party when they find some values they resonate with. When Nana Addo managed to alter the DNA, he changed the soul of the NPP. How can I go to a party that has become reprobate? How can I enter a house that is filled with familiar spirits? sic...

"My worst enemy would not advise me to enter a house that’s full of familiar spirits. The NPP is a party full of familiar spirits. Listen, to the millions of Ghanaians who have been displaced, who cannot stay in the house because of the familiar spirits there. I have good news for you, there is a new party for you," he stated.

The NPP has granted a general amnesty to all members of the party who have been suspended or are facing disciplinary proceedings, as part of efforts to foster unity and reconciliation within the party.
