Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has dismissed claims that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is a fractured organisation, emphasising that the party remains united and focused ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Speaking at the NPP’s 2025 National Delegates Conference, Afenyo-Markin stressed that while disagreements and debates are normal in any democratic political organisation, they do not signal division or weakness within the party.
Afenyo-Markin underscored that the NPP has a track record of resolving internal differences through dialogue and consensus-building, which has been key to its electoral successes. He assured party members and supporters that leadership is working tirelessly to maintain unity and ensure that the NPP remains a formidable political force.
He also encouraged party members to focus on the bigger picture—continuing the party’s developmental agenda and presenting a strong, united front to the Ghanaian electorate.
The Effutu MP further stated that the NPP’s commitment to progress and good governance remains unshaken.
He called on party supporters to rally behind the leadership, emphasising that unity is crucial for achieving victory in 2028.
He stated the need for the party to rebrand itself with results and strong character, warning that internal divisions have been costly.
Afenyo-Markin said “Let’s move with one voice. We’re in a season that demands sober reflection and radical unity. This is a time to rebuild, reconnect with the grassroots, re-engage with the base and reconnect with Ghanaians with a bold new vision for the future. With unity, we become a force; unity doesn’t mean uniformity, but loyalty to a shared purpose.
“We must rebrand ourselves with better results and strong character. We must rebuild together, anchored in our values that no individual is bigger than the NPP, and that belief must reflect our language, tone, strategy and posture towards one another. Internal discord, suspicions, and disunity have cost us.”
“We made mistakes, but we’re not a broken party; we’re only a battle-tested party. We’re not a party of despair. Let’s end hate campaigns. We must reclaim the spirit of unity, discipline and shared purpose,” he added.
