Grassroot poverty, unnecessary suspension of members affecting our party - NPP Group lament
BAWUS meeting

Grassroots of the ruling New Patriotic Party are said to be dying from poverty despite the party's reign in governance.

This is according an NPP group, Movement For Bawumia for President 2024 (BAWUS).

They have expressed worrying concerns about some pressing issues ruining the party that is likely to stab the its progress should the leadership refuse to address them as soon as possible.

According to the group it's high time the party leadership took a serious step to addressing those pressing issues.

National chairman of the group, Mr. Duncan Opoku Boateng speaking to soireenews revealed, the said issues include unbridled suspensions of some party members, the party's refusal to take care of the grassroots and unscrupulous attacks on some party gurus.

According to him a thorough research conducted by the team, NPP lost most of its seats in the 2020 election due to most of those pressing issues.

"Suspension of over three hundred (300) party members majority of whom were party executives, for instance affected the party's votes.

"In doing so, did we consider the repercussions it had on the party?

"The BAWUS has embarked on research exploring what catalyzed our poor performance in 2020 elections by losing 32 seats with Central Region alone losing nine(9) seats.

"Some factors we discovered include the suspension of over 300 party officials, suspension of the Assin South constituency Chairman, Mr. Tailor etc were all the leading factors".

The group also lamented over the poor care that is been given to the party grassroots by the leaders. 

"We plead with Nana Addo and his leaders to stop looking at the top alone, but also turn to the grassroots who do all the dirty works and are sadly neglected after elections."

Finally the group described some unscrupulous attacks on some party gurus such as President Nana Akuffo-Addo, Vice President, Dr. Mahamoud Bawumia, Prof. Frimpong Boateng etc by some media personalities. The group describes such attacks as mere baseless ones which are only levelled to tarnish the image of the party leadership.

They mentioned someone like Captain Smart as one of the key attackers where they pleaded with him to present his claims in a decurum and back most of his claims with evidential documents.

"It's our major dream to make sure the break the eight(8) agenda comes to pass. Leadership's failure to address the aforementioned issues will make things very tough for us in the break the eight success." they concluded.
