Former Greater Accra Regional Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Moses Abor, has called on party leaders and members to prioritize reviving the party’s grassroots structures and rebuilding trust with its support base ahead of the 2028 elections.
Speaking on Atinka FM’s Simpieso show hosted by Nana Owoahene Acheampong, Mr. Abor stressed that the NPP must “ginger the base and bring the story back” after what he described as a period of disconnect that cost the party support in the 2024 elections.
He explained that although the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia-led government performed exceptionally well, frustrations within the party’s grassroots weakened their electoral fortunes.
“The Nana Addo–Bawumia government did very well, but our people were angry. We need to bring the base back on board. The way we gathered at Rev. Ntim’s house shows how strong we are coming back,” he said.
On internal politics, Moses Abor rejected any attempts to impose candidates on the party, saying the NPP had not even conducted polling station elections yet. He urged all party members to respect the processes and allow delegates to decide who should lead.
“Who leads the party is not a challenge. The power belongs to the delegates. We don’t want anyone to impose anyone on anybody,” he stated.
Preaching unity, Mr. Abor warned against internal attacks on aspirants vying for leadership positions, saying such conduct only weakens the party ahead of national elections.
He also condemned what he described as the unlawful arrests of former government appointees, adding that some current appointments appear to be based on loyalty rather than competence.
“This is the first time someone has been reassigned less than a week after their appointment. I know many are doing ‘yes sir, master’ for positions—not because they are qualified. But we are okay. All we want is a better Ghana, but there is no hope in what they’ve started,” he said.
Mr. Abor’s comments reflect growing calls within the NPP for unity, strategic reorganization, and greater respect for the party’s grassroots as it positions itself for the future.
