Political commentator John Osei Bobbie has warned that growing indiscipline within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is threatening its unity and long-term survival.
Speaking on Ghana Nie on Atinka TV with Ama Gyenfa Ofosu Darkwa, Prof. Osei Bobbie stressed that no political party can survive without enforcing discipline, citing it as a major factor that contributed to the collapse of the Convention People’s Party (CPP).
“Indiscipline is destroying the NPP. Even when it’s not campaign season, some members go around attacking others and doing as they please. Any political party that fails to uphold discipline is bound to collapse,”- he said.
He commended the General Secretary for summoning party communicator Ernest Owusu Bempah over his recent public outbursts, saying it was a necessary step to restore order. “Owusu Bempah was talking too much. I support the party’s action, and honestly, I would have gone even further.”
Osei Bobbie also criticized senior party figures who formed unofficial committees and granted interviews following the NPP’s poor performance in the Ashanti Region. According to him, such actions undermined the work of the Mike Oquaye Committee set up to investigate the party’s electoral defeat.
“If the party had enforced its rules properly, some top members, including Kyei Mensah, should have been sanctioned for forming their own committees and speaking on radio and TV. That weakened the official committee’s work,”- he said.
He called for stronger internal structures to maintain discipline and unity within the party, warning that a lack of order could cost the NPP dearly in future contests.
