Former Energy Minister Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko has expressed concern over the state of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), saying the party is no longer what it used to be.
“This is not the NPP we know; things are getting worse. We have values, principles, and discipline. Today, we can’t say the NPP we formed so many years ago is what we are seeing today. A lot of things are not going well,” Mr. Agyarko said in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.
Mr. Agyarko, who has announced his intention to contest for the position of National Chairmanship, noted that some of the problems started a long time ago but were ignored until they crossed a critical line.
“In 2024, when we went for elections, Ghanaians voted against us massively, and even among ourselves, we voted against ourselves. When you listen to what people were saying, they blamed us, saying that the NPP we knew years back had changed completely. They said it is better to go back to our old ways, where love and unity were around everyone,” he added.
He further criticized the party for failing to heed advice even after the 2024 elections.
“Every day you hear issues in the NPP because of internal squabbles. These issues should have been stopped, but they keep making noise and refuse to listen. Some utterances from party members are not good; they only destroy the party and make it unpopular,” Mr. Agyarko said.
His comments come after the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe Abronye, announced his readiness to appear before the party’s National Disciplinary Committee following an invitation from General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua.
