Mussa Dankwa, the Global InfoAnalytics Executive Director, has said NPP delegates themselves feel that internal divisions within the party are contributing to its problems.
According to Mussa Dankwa, responses he got from NPP delegates showed an unusual level of self-reflection.
He noted that some delegates acknowledged that party members themselves contribute to the conflicts they later complain about.
Mussa Dankwah disclosed that delegates understood the consequences of internal disagreements, particularly when losing candidates or their supporters continued to attack members of the party.
Speaking on JoyNews, Mussa Dankwah stated, “The delegates feel they are the source of the disturbance”.
He further recounted the experience of one delegate who pointed to a radio station allegedly owned by an NPP member saying, “He tells me that go and listen to this radio station this morning. It is owned by an NPP person. He contested with this gentleman. And because this gentleman won, he has turned his station into an anti-whatever”.
“They know they are the cause of their own problems and all those things,” he said.
According to him, the delegates are linking the NPP’s setbacks to disunity rather than blaming the absence of resources.
“Disunity is what led them down, largely, along with other factors,” Mr Dankwa said.
Meanwhile, Patrick Yaw Boamah, the Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, has admitted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) still has the scars of its defeat in the 2024 general election.
According to Patrick Yaw Boamah, the NPP must work to rebuild public confidence and trust while generating renewed interest in the NPP from the grassroots.
The NPP MP highlighted that the party’s immediate focus should include the election of new national officers.
He also urged NPP members to be mindful of their conduct and public statements.
Patrick Boamah warned that individual actions could affect the image of the party’s flagbearer and parliamentary candidates as they seek to rebuild public confidence and trust.
He further cautioned members against turning the party’s preparations into what he described as a “beauty contest”.
Speaking in a video shared on his social media page on September 26, 2026, Patrick Yaw Boamah stated, “We still have the wounds of 2024 around us, and we are working very hard to generate a lot of interest in the party from the police station to the national executive level”.
“I believe the next phase is to elect national executives or national officers. We need to build a lot of confidence in the public and a lot of trust,” he said.
“People, there shouldn’t be any beauty contest or whatever to see yourself as the most popular or the most this, to outshine the image of the flagbearer who leads the party’s charge to win the next general election,” he said.
“There are a lot of things that we do. Our utterances, our public statements, and also be strategic and tactful with our communication. That is what I entreat members to do,” he added.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has completed balloting for candidates contesting its national executive elections scheduled for October 3, 2026.
