Former Obuasi East MP Edward Ennin has expressed his disappointment with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) leadership, blaming them for the party's poor performance in the 2024 elections.
Ennin believes the leadership should take responsibility for the party's defeat and resign or be sacked. He cited their weak campaign and lack of a proper plan as major factors that contributed to the party's loss.
The former MP made these comments on Adom FM's Burning Issues, where he shed more light on the party's internal issues. He stated that the leadership's actions have brought shame to the party and its members.
Ennin also noted that the party's internal elections were marred by irregularities and favoritism. He claimed that the leadership's "mafia" tactics led to apathy among supporters, which ultimately affected the party's performance in the elections.
The former MP emphasized that the party needs to be reclaimed from the current leadership and made more attractive to its members. He believes that this is the only way to restore the party's image and regain the trust of its supporters.
Ennin also praised former NPP leaders, such as Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong, who were sacked in 2016. He believes that they were better leaders than the current crop and that their leadership style was more inclusive and democratic.
The former MP's comments have sparked a heated debate within the NPP, with some members calling for the leadership to resign or be sacked. Others have defended the leadership, arguing that they did their best under difficult circumstances.
Ennin's comments have also raised questions about the future of the NPP and whether the party can recover from its recent electoral defeat.
