Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the CEO of the National Entrepreneurship Innovation Programme (NEIP), has called on government officials and key figures within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to reconcile with their allies from when the party was in opposition. 

In a recent social media post, he emphasised the need for unity within the party to strengthen its chances of retaining power in the upcoming elections.

Mr Ofosu Nkansah highlighted a growing divide had emerged among NPP leadership and some party faithful, leading to discontent within the party. 

He urged NPP leaders to make efforts to bridge this gap, stressing internal unity was essential if the party would mount a strong and effective campaign ahead of the December 7 elections.

He further stressed unity within the party was not only crucial for electoral success but also for creating a cohesive team of members who can work together to champion the party’s vision. 

Mr Ofosu Nkansah noted the party’s ability to retain power would depend largely on its ability to present a united front, especially during the critical campaign period.

According to him, it was not too late for NPP bigwigs and government officials to reconcile with disgruntled members who feel alienated. He encouraged party leaders to reach out to these individuals, many of whom, he believes, were ready to move past their grievances and contribute to the party’s efforts once again. 

The key, he noted, was for the leadership to take the first step toward mending relationships.

“Dear NPP Appointee/NPP person who gets Gov't opportunities, that circle of friends you belonged to and did NPP Politics with when we were in opposition, did you maintain your relationship with them when you got your position or opportunities?”

“Some of you are too selfish and you make Party People struggle because of how you have done your Politics when we got Power. If you are like that, it's not too late to change,” he wrote.
