National Chairman of the People’s National Party (PNP), Madam Janet Nablah, says the defeat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, was not surprising.
She indicated the signs of their defeat started at the Assin North by-election.
According to her, the strength and commitment the National Democratic Congress (NDC) put into the by-election were massive, whereas the NPP appeared like cowards right from the constituency to the national level.
Nablah opined that the NPP went into the elections as a disunited front.
She said it was too obvious that the party was unable to address all its grievances and unite its front towards victory.
“Dr Bawumia’s defeat was unsurprising. The NPP’s defeat was expected. The signs of their defeat began with the Assin North by-election.
“The by-election revealed the NPP’s problem. The NDC became emboldened and won the by-election, while the NPP gave up before the fight was over. There was something wrong; the NPP lacked energy, so losing the election was unsurprising.”
“The party was also not united. They were differences that they failed to address. Members were aggrieved, but the NPP and its leader, the presidential candidate, did not show any interest in addressing the challenges.
“They were so disunited, and you cannot win in an election when you are not united,” she added.
