A mining consultant, Wisdom Edem Gomashie, has urged the , (NPP) to accept collective responsibility for its defeat in the 2024 election rather than attributing it to individuals in the party.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, he noted that the party leaders must prioritise unity and focus on rebuilding the NPP ahead of the 2028 Election.
Touching on the Akwatia by-election, Edem Gomashie stated that while the NPP was still entangled in internal disputes over who becomes its flagbearer, the , (NDC) approached the Akwatia by-election with momentum. "The NDC went into the elections with self-styled goodwill acclamations and an abundance of resources, while we in the NPP were still fighting among ourselves regarding the presidential primaries. "This is not a time to blame party officers; it is a time for all of us to work in unison to fix our party immediately," the statement said.
Wisdom Gomashie added that the NPP's loss at the polls reflects a wider problem within the party's structure. "I cannot say how many Kusasis are on the Akwatia voter roll, but the results clearly show that this defeat cannot be dumped on one person.
