The Head of the History and Political Science Department at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Prof. Edward Brenya, has criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he describes as an ongoing denial of its 2024 electoral defeat.
Speaking to ABC Midday News on Wednesday, Prof. Brenya expressed concern over what he described as a “clear division at the top,” warning that if not addressed urgently, it could lead to further fragmentation among party executives and trickle down to the grassroots.
He stressed that the aftermath of the 2024 general elections should have served as an opportunity for introspection and unity, but instead, denial and factionalism have taken precedence.
“They should look at their failure in the 2024 election, understand it, because many of them are still in denial,” he urged, noting that an honest evaluation is the first step toward organizational healing.
Dr. Brenya observed that recent events within the party are not isolated incidents but rather symptoms of deeper divisions that have long existed.
“This thing has started long ago before now,” he said, referencing previous internal rifts involving high-profile members of the party.
His remarks follow the latest controversy involving former presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong, who has withdrawn from the party’s ongoing “Thank You” tour. Agyapong cited threats to the safety of his supporters after a violent incident in Kumasi left a student injured.
The altercation, allegedly involving NPP-linked individuals, has sparked renewed tension within the party.
Meanwhile Agyapong has announced his intention to contest the party’s presidential primaries for the 2028 elections, making it clear that no one within the party could intimidate him.
