Paul Afoko blames NPP’s electoral decline on weak internal management
Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Awentami Afoko, has attributed the party's declining electoral fortunes to what he described as a deterioration in internal management and party unity since his departure from office.
He lamented what he described as a sharp decline in the party's parliamentary representation, noting that the NPP's seats fell from 169 to 137 during its first general election after he left office, despite the party being in government at the time.
As an example, Mr Afoko cited the controversy surrounding the Fomena Constituency, where the NPP disowned its former parliamentary candidate (Andrew Asiamah Amoako) after he contested the election as an independent candidate.
