A leading voice within the opposition has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to urgently rebuild and strengthen its grassroots structures if it hopes to mount a successful comeback in the 2028 general elections.
According to the commentator Osumanu, the party’s future electoral fortunes will depend heavily on how well it reconnects with its base, reorganises local branches, and restores confidence among rank-and-file supporters.
CALL FOR RETURN TO GRASSROOTS POLITICS
Osumanu argued that the party’s traditional strength has always been rooted in its grassroots mobilisation network, which he believes has weakened in recent times due to internal divisions and reduced engagement at the community level.
He stressed that without a deliberate effort to rebuild these structures, the party risks losing its competitive edge in future elections.
FOCUS ON UNITY AND REORGANISATION
The statement adds to ongoing discussions within the party about unity, leadership direction, and strategic planning ahead of 2028.
Political observers say such calls reflect broader concerns about internal cohesion and the need for a clear roadmap to regain public trust.
ANALYSTS SAY CHALLENGE GOES BEYOND STRUCTURES
Some analysts argue that beyond grassroots mobilisation, the party will also need to address issues such as messaging, policy direction, and voter perception if it hopes to stage a strong comeback.
They note that modern elections are increasingly influenced by both traditional ground campaigns and digital engagement.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2028
As political parties begin early positioning for the next electoral cycle, attention is already shifting toward strategy, restructuring, and rebuilding voter confidence.
For Osumanu, however, the message is simple: no grassroots revival, no electoral victory in 2028.
