New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart and former Minister for Chieftaincy Affairs, Stephen Asamoah-Boateng, has expressed disagreement with the party’s National Council over its decision to hold an early presidential primary.
In his view, the party’s current challenges require a deliberate focus on rebuilding unity at the grassroots rather than rushing to elect a flagbearer.
“I disagree with the National Council’s rush for an early presidential primary. The party needs reorganization from the grassroots, not the top. Electing a flagbearer early won’t fix the current divisions,” he stated in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.
Mr. Asamoah-Boateng urged party leaders to adopt a calmer approach, emphasizing the importance of internal cohesion.
“The noise is too much. We need to be sober and focus on internal unity. Ghanaians are waiting for us to have a sense of shared responsibility,” he added.
He also dismissed concerns that differing support for presidential hopefuls would deepen rifts in the party, describing such differences as “natural human tendencies” that can be managed with proper organization.
“It’s a natural human tendency for people to support those they want to support, so I don’t think this will create a rift in the party. The main focus should be on grassroots efforts; if that is achieved, reaching the top will be much easier,” he explained.
