The Chief Executive Officer of the Consumer Protection Agency, Kofi Kapito, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to tread cautiously in its handling of disgruntled members, stressing that the ripple effect of suspending or sacking influential individuals could severely impact the party's electoral base.
Speaking on GTV's Breakfast show on Monday, July 21, Kapito cautioned that expelling such figures often lead to the quiet exit of their followers. "If you sack somebody of a higher position or somebody who has influence, you're forgetting that maybe he has 10 or 20 supporters who will follow him to exit the party," he stated.
He emphasised that every vote counts in elections and urged political parties to focus on building bridges rather than burning them. "It's all about numbers.
It's not about any magic.
