Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman Paul Afoko has revealed that his return to the party’s leadership space is driven by a bigger political objective — helping secure victory for Mahamudu Bawumia’s presidential ambition.
Afoko, who had been away from the party’s top leadership structures for years, said his renewed involvement is motivated by a desire to contribute to the party’s efforts to retain political power and support Bawumia’s bid for the presidency.
The former NPP chairman’s comments have reignited conversations within the party, with supporters and political observers watching closely as old divisions and new alliances continue to shape the party’s future.
According to Afoko, the focus should be on unity, strategy, and strengthening the party ahead of the political contest, rather than allowing internal disagreements to weaken the NPP’s chances.
His return has attracted attention because of his previous disagreements with some party figures, making his renewed engagement a significant development in the NPP’s internal politics.
Political analysts say Afoko’s involvement could influence discussions around reconciliation and party cohesion as the NPP rallies support behind Bawumia’s presidential campaign.
The development comes at a time when the party is working to consolidate its base and present a united front ahead of the next major electoral battle.
