The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is intensifying internal reconciliation efforts following the emergence of a new political movement, as concerns grow over potential divisions within its ranks.
Peter Ayinbisa, a regional communications director for the party, said recent engagements between party leaders are part of a broader strategy to consolidate support after the 2024 elections.
He confirmed that the party’s presidential candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, has been holding a mix of public and private meetings with key stakeholders, including former contender Kennedy Agyapong.
According to Mr Ayinbisa, a recent private meeting between the two leaders was “constructive,” with Agyapong reaffirming his commitment to the party’s goal of returning to power in 2028.
“These engagements are meant to strengthen relationships and ensure unity going forward,” he said.
The outreach comes amid the rise of “The BASE,” a group seeking to form a new political party and reportedly drawing support from some NPP sympathizers. The movement has sparked debate over its potential impact on the party’s electoral prospects.
Mr Ayinbisa said while the group’s activities warrant attention, the party remains focused on rebuilding its internal structures and expanding its support base.
He stressed that political success depends on both influential figures and grassroots organizers, noting that “elections are won at the polling station level.”
“We need everyone from national figures, to polling station executives, to secure victory,” he said.
Mr Ayinbisa added that the party would continue efforts to maintain cohesion while also reaching out to new supporters, emphasizing that unity remains central to its strategy ahead of future elections.
