Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Awentami AfokoFormer National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Awentami Afoko, has attributed the party's declining electoral fortunes to what he described as a deterioration in internal management and party unity since his departure from office. Mr Afoko reflected on his tenure as National Chairman, arguing that the party experienced one of its strongest electoral performances during that period. According to Mr Afoko, one of the defining features of his leadership was the manner in which the party conducted its internal parliamentary primaries. Mr Afoko argued that this level of internal cohesion played a significant role in the party's electoral success and contrasted it with developments after his departure. The former chairman suggested that the decline reflected shortcomings in the party's management of its internal affairs, particularly in handling disputes arising from parliamentary primaries.
