A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Political Science and Research Fellow at the Centre for Asian Studies at the University of Ghana has criticised the timing and messaging of the New Patriotic Party's flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's ongoing 'Thank You Tour' following their defeat in the 2024 general elections.
According to Professor Alidu Seidu, the focus of the tour should have been less on recounting the reasons for the party's loss and more on presenting solutions and a clear path forward. "The 'Thank You Tour' at this time is not the most appropriate.
I was expecting an internal consensus on the right strategy.
When you go to the people, you shouldn't just tell them why you lost - you should tell them what you are going to do to fix it," he said in an interview on JoyNews on Sunday.
