General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua, has expressed worry about the political party.
According to him, the party has become so polarised that people no longer analyse issues based on the substance but rather based on their interests and the camps they belong to.
To him, this is a worrying development that needs to be checked for the health of the political party.
He believes it is about time persons who want positions in the political party desist from disrespecting the current leadership and the party in general
“The party has become so polarised that when you say something, people do not look at the substance but rather focus on what is in their interest. If we don’t remain focused and follow such people, we will be distracted. They may say we are weak, but that is not the case; we choose to ignore some of these people. So hopefully, if we are able to vote for a flagbearer, then firm decisions can be taken in the political party,” he said on Accra-based Asempa FM.
He continued, “People must learn to respect the party. Is the position for someone? You want to become a flagbearer, but the very body you’ll use to become a flagbearer, you want to undermine it. You want to become a party leader, but you disrespect the ones who are currently there? That must stop”.
