Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has issued a rallying cry to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), calling for an end to internal hate campaigns and backstabbing.
Speaking at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference held Saturday, July 19, at the University of Ghana Stadium, the Minority Leader warned that internal sabotage and divisive rhetoric threaten to erode party cohesion and undermine efforts to rebuild.
“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,” Afenyo-Markin declared.
Addressing the thousands of delegates gathered under the theme “Rebranding Together with Our Values,” he urged members to rise above bitterness, unite under shared ideals, and recommit to a disciplined, values-based political culture.
“We are at a critical juncture as a party, not because our tradition is broken, but because it is being tested,” he declared, framing the NPP’s 2024 electoral defeat not as a collapse, but a defining moment of introspection and renewal.
He urged members not to let recent setbacks cloud their long-term vision or breed resentment among the rank and file.
Instead, he called for a strategic rebranding of the party through performance, discipline, and character, while rebuilding trust and reconnecting with grassroots supporters.
Highlighting the foundational principles of the NPP, Afenyo-Markin described the party as more than just a political vehicle it is a legacy built on the convictions of patriots who believed in liberty, dignity, and the rule of law.
He stressed the need to communicate the party’s core values boldly and clearly to the Ghanaian public, and to offer forward-thinking solutions that reflect the party’s enduring belief in private sector-driven development.
“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 said.
