South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor, has voiced concerns about what he calls growing indiscipline within the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking on Joy News' AM Show on Tuesday, November 12, Mr. Dafeamekpor suggested that the NPP's internal issues extend beyond leadership disputes, affecting the conduct of members both publicly and within the party.
Mr. Dafeamekpor noted that indiscipline in the NPP has become more noticeable as the country approaches the 2024 general elections.
He cautioned that the NPP’s failure to resolve its internal problems could weaken its standing among voters, possibly giving the opposition an advantage in the coming elections.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) lawmaker further criticized the NPP's apparent struggle to maintain unity and discipline.
He observed that such internal discord was preventing the party from presenting a united front.
Mr. Dafeamekpor pointed to former Majority Leader, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, suggesting that his leadership had contributed to the party’s inability to maintain order.
Additionally, Dafeamekpor highlighted the absence of Dome-Kwabenya MP Sarah Adwoa Safo from the NPP caucus, noting she had missed six months of parliamentary sessions.
He argued that her prolonged absence from Parliament and inability to carry out her ministerial duties warranted her seat being declared vacant.
The MP also criticized Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, claiming he lacked a proper understanding of parliamentary processes.
He noted that Speaker Alban Bagbin had significantly impacted the balance of power in Parliament, especially after reading a letter from independent MP for Fomena, who announced his decision to align with the NPP.
Mr. Dafeamekpor warned that if the NPP does not tackle these entrenched issues, it risks alienating voters and potentially giving the opposition an upper hand in the upcoming elections.
