Political Marketing Analyst, Dr. Bernard Tutu-Boahene, has called for urgent restructuring within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to address internal grievances and strengthen the party ahead of the 2028 elections.
Speaking on Prime News on ABC News GH, he emphasized that “there are times things go low, and there are times things get high,” suggesting that the current internal turmoil presents an opportunity for the party leadership to reassess and rebuild.
Dr. Tutu-Boahene urged the party to take advantage of this period to “appreciate grievances certain party members have and understand that it is all not roses as some people may perceive.”
He commended the NPP for releasing a statement addressing internal concerns but insisted that more concrete actions must be taken to restructure all broken pillars or issues in the party to come out strong as the 2028 election looms.
Addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding former Dome Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo, he advised her to manage her emotions and engage in dialogue with party leadership.
“Even though some characters within the party may have offended you, you don’t punish the party before you come in to apologize,” he stated.
Adwoa Safo has been vocal in recent interviews, revealing her dissatisfaction with the party’s treatment of her, including her removal as Deputy Majority Leader and placement on the backbench.
She also defended her decision not to vote for the E-Levy bill, stating, “I did not vote for E-Levy, and I do not regret it.”
Dr. Tutu-Boahene further highlighted the significant role of the Apostle Safo family in Dome Kwabenya’s political landscape, asserting that “you cannot do politics in Dome Kwabenya without the blessing of the Apostle Safo family.”
He criticized former NPP MP aspirant Mike Oquaye Jnr. for failing to seek their support, noting that “he sat down for the NDC candidate to rather visit Apostle Safo for his blessing. What do you think his followers will think?”
As the NPP navigates its internal struggles, Dr. Tutu-Boahene warned against sidelining key party members, urging leaders to follow the party’s constitutional conflict resolution mechanisms.
“It’s time for reorganization within the party’s architecture—to bring all these people on board in readiness for 2028. You don’t throw them offboard; it wouldn’t help,” he advised.
