First National Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dankwa Smith Butey, has called for a complete overhaul of the party’s current leadership, declaring that none of the executives should be re-elected.
According to him, the current national executives have failed to deliver on their mandate and must be replaced ahead of the 2028 general elections.
“We all need to go home for new, experienced people to come and lead the party. I’m not saying the current executives are not experienced, but we have failed,” he said.
Butey made these comments in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, citing the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections as a major setback that warrants change.
“From 137 seats to 88 is such a big blow. I didn’t even expect we were going to lose the election, so the outcome was surprising. For over two weeks, I couldn’t put myself together,” he revealed.
He maintained that the party must take bold steps to re-strategise and rebuild its base to regain public confidence and electoral strength.
