It is deeply worrying to observe the current state of affairs within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Many loyal party supporters are beginning to feel disconnected from the values and spirit that once made the party attractive and admirable to many Ghanaian families.

This is not the NPP some of us grew up sacrificing for and defending with pride.

Today, there are growing concerns across several constituencies about intimidation, power struggles, manipulation, and what many describe as “Mafia tactics” being used against dedicated party members.

It appears that if one does not align with certain influential figures or “dance to the tune” of some leaders, they are quickly branded as enemies and targeted for removal from party structures. This is unfortunate and dangerous for the future of the party.

The NPP is a democratic party built on freedom of expression, inclusiveness, and respect for differing opinions.

It should never become a party where people are forced into silence or blind loyalty out of fear. Such actions only create division and bitterness among the grassroots the very people who carry the party during difficult times.

After suffering a painful defeat in the 2024 general elections, one would expect the focus of the party to be rebuilding, reconciling, and strengthening its support base. Sadly, what some constituencies are witnessing is the opposite.

Instead of uniting the few committed members who remain loyal, there are alleged attempts to sideline and remove people through unfair means and political tricks.

The national leadership must pay close attention to these developments before they cause irreversible damage to the party’s image and future electoral chances. Internal intimidation and unnecessary power games will not help the NPP win power again in 2028. In fact, they risk weakening the support base needed to secure victory for figures like Mahamudu Bawumia and the party as a whole.

Winning internal battles while losing the trust of the grassroots and the general electorate is not progress. The bigger picture should be the growth, unity, and future success of the NPP not personal interests, greed, or political bullying within constituencies.

Party members are watching. Grassroots supporters are hurting. Many are disappointed and emotionally drained by what is happening. The leadership must therefore act swiftly to promote fairness, transparency, reconciliation, and respect across all constituencies.

If the NPP truly wants to return stronger and regain the confidence of Ghanaians, then unity, humility, and justice must guide the party moving forward not fear and intimidation.
The soul of the party must be protected before it is too late.

Long live all NPP members

Long live NPP

Long live Ghana
