New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman aspirant Paul Afoko says his campaign to unite the party is gaining traction among delegates.

He believes the positive reception to his message signals a growing appetite for reconciliation within the opposition party.

Mr Afoko insists that without unity, the NPP’s ambition to return to power will remain difficult to achieve, urging delegates to look beyond the election of party officers and use the conference as an opportunity to rebuild trust and strengthen the party’s foundations.

Forty-five aspirants are contesting nine national executive positions, including National Chairman, Vice Chairman, General Secretary, National Organiser, National Women’s Organiser, National Youth Organiser, National Nasara Organiser, National Treasurer and National Communications Director.
