Political Scientist and member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Amoako Baah
Political Scientist and member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Amoako Baah, has revealed plans for the formation of a new political party, the New Patriotic Front (NPF), which he says will serve as a true representation of the ideals the NPP once stood for.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with TV3 on April 14, Dr Baah explained that the creation of the New Patriotic Front has become necessary due to the perceived failure of the current NPP leadership.
He accused the party’s leaders of corruption and incompetence, which he believes contributed to the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.
“We want to fix the party, but those involved in the wrongdoing are the ones in charge. Do you think they will willingly give you a chance to throw them out?
“No, they won’t. Leave the party for them and form a new one. The shortest way around this thing is to form a new party,” 3news.com quoted Dr Amoako Baah to have said in an interview.
He urged NPP supporters to abandon the current party and join the New Patriotic Front when it is officially launched.
“All NPP supporters should join the new party that is coming up, the New Patriotic Front. When it comes out, join. That will be the real party. The old one should be left for the corrupt leaders,” he emphasized.
Dr Baah criticized the leadership of the NPP, particularly former President Nana Akufo-Addo, for the party’s poor performance in the 2024 elections.
He accused the former president of arrogance and blamed him for alienating party members, including Members of Parliament.
“If I were the chairman, I would have thrown him out of the party. Because no president should be given any power to do such a thing. Campaign against your own party members…does the party belong to him?” he questioned.
