The former Minister for Agriculture and leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has issued a passionate call for unity within the party as internal tensions and social media exchanges threaten to undermine efforts to reposition the party ahead of the 2024 elections.

In a strongly worded statement released on Friday, Dr. Acheampong urged members across all levels of the party—from grassroots supporters to national leadership—to recommit to the shared values and ideals that have held the NPP together over the years.

“As we prepare to reposition our Party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), we must stay focused on efforts to rebuild and rebrand,” he stated.

“Tensions have risen, evident through exchanges on social media.

While passionate political discourse is natural, division and hostility only serve to weaken us.”

He emphasised the urgent need for unity of purpose, maturity in conduct, and discipline, warning that internal divisions could derail the party’s momentum as it seeks to restore public confidence and recapture the energy of its support base.

Dr. Acheampong appealed to party members to rise above internal factions and to work collaboratively, guided by courage, credibility, and a renewed commitment to the party's mission.

He described the moment as a critical opportunity to forge a “new path built on collaboration.”

“This is not just about moving past disagreements—it is about working together, disciplined and united, to build a stronger future for our Party,” he noted.

The statement comes at a time when the NPP is navigating an important transition, following recent electoral setbacks and ongoing internal debates about the direction of the party.

Dr. Acheampong’s message is seen as a rallying cry to consolidate ranks and re-energise the party ahead of future political battles.

He concluded his message with gratitude and determination, signalling his unwavering belief in the party’s ability to rise above current challenges and chart a stronger course for the future.
