Where does the energy displayed in the NPP presidential primary campaign originate from? – Solomon Amankwah, Comm Dir for Odotobri Constituency
Solomon Amankwah, the Communication Officer for the Odotobri branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has raised an essential question for the party’s leadership and grassroots asking Where does the energy displayed during our presidential primaries really come from?
Amankwah’s query is not just rhetorical, it strikes at the heart of the party’s internal dynamics. Why is it that the NPP seems to summon its greatest enthusiasm, strategy, and communication strength during internal contests, yet struggles to replicate this vigor when facing the real battle the general elections?
He points out a troubling reality, while political opponents seem unified and free in their expression, the NPP’s internal machinery often appears to work at cross-purposes. Powerful communicators, skilled strategists, and dedicated researchers are fully engaged during primaries, but their influence often diminishes when it’s time to face the broader electorate.
He urges the party to embrace politics driven by principle, moral integrity, and a sense of discretion. “Discretion is strength,” he emphasizes, calling on members to temper their ambition with wisdom and a long-term view of the party’s image and unity.
