Former Member of Parliament for Bekwai, Joseph Osei-Owusu, has defended the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) nationwide "Thank You" tour, describing it as a necessary step to reconnect with the party's grassroots and reaffirm supporters' commitment.
Responding to criticism over the tour in an interview on Citi Eyewitness News on Tuesday April 29, Osei-Owusu dismissed suggestions that the initiative was misplaced or politically untimely, emphasising that it was a collective decision taken by the party's National Council. "There is absolutely nothing untoward in organising a thank you tour. "In this case, I think the party at the National Council decided that we should organise a thank you tour and give the opportunity for all those who participated in the presidential primaries to join in," he stated.
He noted that beyond expressing gratitude, the tour serves a deeper purpose of strengthening party unity and restoring confidence among supporters after the party's internal contest. "Yes, it is necessary and it is also intended to engender our people and help them to strengthen their faith in the party," Osei-Owusu added.
