Private legal practitioner and New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Charles Owusu Juanah has expressed confidence in former NPP National Chairman Paul Afoko's ability to unite the party's factions. According to Juanah, Afoko has begun engaging members of opposing camps within the party as part of efforts to build a united front ahead of the 2028 elections. This move is crucial, as divisions within the party had created the need for leadership capable of bringing its various factions together.
Juanah, who is the National Chairman of Friends of Bawumia, highlighted Afoko's relationships and experience as key factors that make him suitable for the reconciliation task. He stated that Afoko had already begun reaching out to members from opposing camps, demonstrating a focus on rebuilding the party rather than deepening existing divisions. This approach, Juanah believes, shows Afoko's understanding of the need for a leader who can engage different factions without treating political disagreements as permanent divisions.
The NPP would struggle to effectively prepare for the 2028 election if its members remained divided, Juanah warned. He emphasized that Afoko's engagement with rival groups is consistent with the former chairman's "Reunite, Rebuild, and Recapture" message. This message resonates with the party's need for a united internal structure as it prepares for the 2028 elections. By engaging with members of rival camps, Afoko is taking concrete steps towards achieving this goal.
