Ashanti NPP requires new direction, leadership — Odeneho Appiah

He stated that although the party had been winning the popular votes in the Ashanti Region, its performance had been declining over the years while that of the main opposition party the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had been increasing.

Using the figures of the last two general elections as a test case, Mr Appiah said the NPP polled a total of 75 per cent of the total votes in 2016 presidential elections and decreased to 72 per cent in the 2020 election.

During the same period, he said the NDC improved its performance from 23 per cent to 26 per cent and so he was of the view that something was not going right and called for a change in attitude towards party activities.

With the dwindling numbers of the party at the polls in the region, he gave an assurance that he would move into action and bring all party members together under one umbrella to tackle the battle ahead.

He said for the party to retain power and break the eight, there was the need to change the current leadership of the party and replace it with a new one with the zeal and purpose to help the party achieve its objective.
