Former Minister for Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has emphasized that unity within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) cannot be achieved by the efforts of a single individual.
In an interview on Wednesday, Oppong Nkrumah addressed internal disagreements within the party and stressed that the path to rebuilding must be a collective one.
“I don’t think any single person can bring the party together, anybody going around saying he is going to bring the party together should stop saying it,” he said, responding to ongoing tensions and the General Secretary’s pledge to unify the party ahead of the 2028 elections.
He noted that the current challenges facing the NPP require a unified front to overcome.
“All of us must understand that we have to collectively work together,” Oppong Nkrumah said, urging party members to move beyond personal grievances and focus on rebuilding trust and cohesion.
He warned against overreliance on individual promises and called for a broader culture of collaboration within the party.
The Member of Parliament further stressed the importance of discipline among party members, regardless of personal differences. “In politics, you don’t need to like one another or be friends to work together,” he remarked, stressed that political success hinges on cooperation.
He concluded by calling for healing and reforms to strengthen the party’s chances in future elections: “We have to heal wounds, we have to reform as a party.”
