A prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Boakye Agyarko, has raised alarms over the party’s ongoing Thank You Tour, warning that what was meant to unite supporters has instead deepened divisions.
The former energy minister cautioned that the initiative risks inflicting lasting damage on the party’s cohesion and public image if immediate corrective measures are not taken.
In a strongly worded statement, Agyarko described the tour as having taken a “regrettable turn,” with internal disputes and finger-pointing overshadowing its original purpose of reconnecting with grassroots supporters. “Rather than reigniting hope, we are witnessing growing discord that threatens the very fabric of our party,” he said.
Agyarko’s intervention highlights mounting tensions within the NPP following its electoral defeat, as factions debate the party’s future direction. He warned that the current trajectory risks alienating loyalists and eroding public trust. “The goodwill we’ve built over years is being steadily undermined,” he stated, urging leadership to “apply the brakes before we face irreversible damage.”
The former presidential aspirant called for a strategic reset, emphasizing reconciliation and purposeful engagement over divisive rhetoric. “This tour must refocus on solidarity, not recriminations,” he insisted, stressing that the NPP’s legacy demands unity and forward-thinking leadership.
Political analysts suggest Agyarko’s remarks reflect broader unease within the party as it struggles to regroup after losing power. The Thank You Tour, initially conceived as a morale-boosting exercise, has instead exposed lingering frustrations over campaign strategy and post-election accountability.
With the NPP at a critical juncture, Agyarko’s appeal signals an urgent need for course correction. Observers note that how the party addresses these internal challenges could determine its ability to effectively reposition itself ahead of future elections. The coming weeks may prove decisive in either healing rifts or deepening the fractures now openly surfacing.
