Former Principal Lecturer at GIMPA, Dr.

Josiah Cobbah, has criticised the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) decision to fast-track its flagbearer election process, warning that it risks masking more pressing internal problems.

Speaking on TV3's New Day during the Hot Issues segment, Dr.

Cobbah said the recent meeting and announcement regarding the party's flagbearer contest seem more like an attempt to gloss over unresolved tensions. "For me, the recent meeting and the announcement about the flagbearer contest is like peppering over what needs to be looked at," he stated.
