NPP Delegates Congress: End hate campaigns, party sabotage — Afenyo-Markin
The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called for an end to hate campaigns and internal sabotage within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), urging unity and renewal as the party navigates a new phase.
Speaking at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference today in Accra, he cautioned that such negative actions could undermine the party’s cohesion and derail its progress.
He emphasised the need to rebrand the party through improved performance and a demonstration of strong character.
“We must rebuild together, brick by brick, anchored in our values and in the unshakeable belief that no individual is bigger than the NPP. This belief must reflect our tone, our language, our strategy, and, most importantly, our posture towards one another,” Mr Afenyo-Markin stated.
The conference is being held on the theme: “Rebranding Together with Our Values.”
Not broken
Addressing the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections, Mr Afenyo-Markin insisted that the party was not broken, but rather being tested.
“We are at a critical juncture as a party, not because our tradition is broken, but because it is being tested,” he said.
He urged members not to allow present challenges to cloud the party’s vision or fragment its ranks.
The Minority Leader said the NPP was in a period of transition and repositioning, and stressed the need to rebuild trust, reconnect with grassroots supporters, and effectively communicate the party’s values while engaging the Ghanaian public with bold, forward-looking ideas.
Mr Afenyo-Markin underscored that the NPP was more than just a political organisation—it was a tradition shaped by the sacrifices and convictions of patriots who believed in liberty, human dignity, the rule of law, and the potential of every Ghanaian.
He said these values, driven by private sector participation, should guide the party’s future direction.
He also reaffirmed the NPP’s vision of building a nation where every Ghanaian, regardless of background, could succeed through merit, hard work, and innovation.
“Our vision of a property-owning democracy has evolved beyond land or housing to mean giving every citizen a stake in national progress through education, healthcare, financial inclusion, and decent jobs,” he noted.
“Every child and youth must be equipped with the skills, values, confidence, and opportunity to be entrepreneurial or to climb the professional career ladder,” he added.
