More fire 🔥 Kevin Taylor @KevinEkowTaylor fires Afenyo Markin over their one day one press conference habit lately.
Despite suffering a crushing electoral defeat, the party's leadership has continued to organize press conferences and launch scathing criticisms against the National Democratic Congress (NDC) this time Afenyo-Markin accusing Jakpa-led security operatives of robbing ex-BoG GovernorGH₵10k and jewellery.
It appears that the party's strategists believe that the key to regaining power lies in employing underhanded tactics, including false propaganda and manipulation of public opinion.
thought the NPP's defeat in the 2024 elections presents an opportunity for the party to reassess its strategy and leadership.
Rather than resorting to desperate and malicious tactics, the party would do well to engage in some introspection and seek to rebuild its reputation on a foundation of integrity and transparency.
42 years in opposition ampa.
