Andy Appiah-Kubi Criticizes NPP Leadership, Alleges Internal Sabotage
Outgoing Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Appiah-Kubi, has alleged that influential figures within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) actively worked against him, undermining his efforts within the party. Speaking on The Key Points show with Alfred Ocansey on Saturday, December 14, 2024, Appiah-Kubi stated, “The establishment worked against me,” expressing his frustration with what he described as internal sabotage.
These remarks come in the aftermath of the NPP’s defeat in the December 7 general elections, where the National Democratic Congress (NDC) reclaimed power. Appiah-Kubi’s revelation sheds light on the internal divisions and favoritism reportedly plaguing the party, which many believe contributed to its electoral loss. His comments echo broader concerns about the lack of unity and inclusivity within the NPP, with accusations of sidelining certain members by powerful factions.
Appiah-Kubi has been vocal about the internal power struggles within the party, previously claiming that Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta wielded more influence than President Nana Akufo-Addo during his tenure. These statements paint a stark picture of a party struggling with governance challenges and fractured leadership.
As the NPP embarks on a period of introspection following its defeat, Appiah-Kubi’s criticisms highlight the urgent need for reform. Addressing internal divisions and fostering greater inclusivity will be crucial for the party to rebuild trust among its members and the wider Ghanaian electorate.
