Founding President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has hailed a speech delivered by Alexander Afenyo-Markin at the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) recent Delegates Conference as the only honest reflection of the party's dire state, warning that failure to change course could have lasting consequences.

In a Facebook post on Monday, Cudjoe stated, "Only one speech spoke to the existential threat of decay the party faces unless it changes course. "That speech was given by Alexander Afenyo-Markin." He added that the Minority Leader's address closely aligned with findings from IMANI's soon-to-be-released Sentiment Analysis Report covering June 16 to July 16, 2025.

Key insights from the IMANI report include: Only 3.9% of the public's sentiment toward the NPP was positive, with a concerning 3:1 negative-to-positive ratio.

Internal party wrangling, links to electoral violence, and leadership uncertainties are major contributors to negative perception.
