Musah Superior-NPP Will Never Come To Power if......

After the defeat of the New Patriotic Party in the just ended Presidential and Parliamentary elections, certain individuals and interest groups within the party have been accused of being the causative agents of its electoral shocker.

Recent media reports had it that Iddrisu Musah Superior, an activist and patriot of the NPP based in the United Kingdom blamed the party’s national executive body for the party’s defeat and called for its early replacement.

The London-based NPP youth activist is still of the conviction that certain deceitful declarations that have been peddled by some leading members of the party saying, “2012 election is for the NPP,” will be a mirage if the current attitude of self–serving and factionalism within the party is not expunged before the 2012 elections.

In what he described as a general autopsy of the 2008 Presidential and Parliamentary election results contained in a news release, he attested to the fact that his mother party lost the elections because it lacked a master plan to retain power.

“Our party did not reach out more to non-NPP voters, the local people and the traditional rulers: not that Ghanaians desired change or our campaign promises were unachievable or our Presidential candidate was unpopular in the eyes of the sovereign electorate.” Also “The in-cohesiveness, disunity and greediness within our fold strangled our intra party politics which led to our defeat,” he observed.

Without concentrating much on his usual blame game, Musah Superior called the need for every effort and thoughts to be garnered at rebuilding the NPP towards the 2012 general elections.

“We are members of the NPP who are in pain and we must fight to regain our composure by closing our ranks and have a common stand if not on all issues, at least on some major ones such as working together to deliver in 2012,” he added.

Unveiling his immediate plan towards the NPP’s rejuvenation, Musah Superior tasked every stakeholder in the party to start grassroots organization by ensuring that competent polling station executive members are chosen and specifically tasked to work with the communities and the chiefs to establish a strong NPP presence.

He also suggested that the NPP should adopt the bottom-up organizational method which he said could be achieved through organizing communal activities such as clean up exercises, sporting and periodic traditional entertainment programmes which he noted the people will directly benefit from.

The NPP youth activist further hinted that for his mother party to recapture power from the ruling National Democratic Congress in 2012, “There is a necessity for greater participation of the foot-soldiers in key decisions: “we should operate a system which will encourage all to make their views known and feel heeded to”, he concluded
