NPP Faces Crucial Decision: Boahen Warns Against Card-Bearing Member Vote

Ghanaian NPP Faces Internal Divisions Ahead of 2028 Election Accra, Ghana – A warning has been sounded within the ranks of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding the upcoming flagbearer selection process. Former NPP General Secretary Nana Obiri Boahen has expressed serious concerns about the party's decision to allow card-bearing members to participate in the selection. He argues that this could lead to internal divisions and ultimately harm the party's chances in the 2028 general election. "If the NPP fails to allow card-bearing members to vote in the flagbearer selection process," Boahen stated in a recent interview, "then they forget about winning the 2028 election. We will not even get 30%." Boahen's warning highlights the potential for factionalism and disunity within the NPP. His statement underscores the high stakes of the flagbearer selection and the potential for lasting damage to the party's prospects. The NPP leadership is now facing pressure to address Boahen's concerns and ensure a smooth and unifying selection process. The outcome of this process will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the party's future and its ability to compete effectively in the 2028 elections.
