Former Attorney-General, Minister of Justice, and Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joe Ghartey, has called for a ceasefire between feuding factions within the opposition (NPP), urging unity and introspection at a time when the party faces internal division following its recent electoral defeat.
Ghartey's appeal comes amid escalating tensions between prominent party figures, most notably the ongoing public spat between Abronye DC, Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, and former presidential aspirant and Assin Central MP, .
Their feud has further exposed growing cracks within the party's rank and file, prompting concerns among supporters and senior members alike about the party's cohesion and electoral future.
According to Joe Ghartey, no single individual, regardless of stature or popularity, can secure victory for the NPP in the next general election without the full backing and unity of the party. "There is no point in pointing fingers against each other", saying that as a popular Ghanaian proverb says 'when you point a finger at one person the other four point at you.'" He emphasised the urgent need for "cool heads, sober reflection, and strategic thinking," urging members to move away from finger-pointing and blame-shifting.
