Hegemony established in NPP; current reforms artificial, designed to benefit few — KNUST lecturer

Hegemony established in NPP; current reforms artificial, designed to benefit few — KNUST lecturer

Political science lecturer at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Professor Samuel Adu-Gyamfi, has delivered a blistering critique of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) post-election reform agenda, describing it as a shallow, top-down exercise orchestrated to entrench the influence of party elites.

Speaking on Neat FM on Wednesday, July 9, in an interview with Adakabre Frimpong Manso, Prof. Adu-Gyamfi dismissed the party’s internal restructuring efforts as little more than political theatre.

“The reforms are artificial and designed to benefit a few. A hegemony has been established within the party to serve parochial interests, not the rank-and-file,” he said bluntly.

Power Brokers, Not the People, Driving Reforms

The political scientist accused a cabal within the party leadership of hijacking the reform process, sidelining the grassroots, and turning what should have been a moment of deep introspection into an exercise in political window-dressing.

He criticised the sequence of the party’s internal elections, calling the decision to elect a flagbearer before choosing polling station executives a glaring sign of misplaced priorities.

“If they believe electing a flagbearer before engaging the grassroots will rebuild the party, then they are only fooling themselves. They risk further division with such tactics,” he warned.

False Hope for 2028 and an Unhealed Base

Prof. Gyamfi expressed skepticism over claims that a new presidential face could unify the party ahead of the 2028 elections, insisting that the real work lies in reconnecting with the party’s base.

He argued that skipping this crucial step in favour of satisfying elite ambitions would only deepen fractures within the party.

According to him, the party’s electoral collapse in 2024 was not accidental but the natural result of years of poor governance, arrogance, and detachment from ordinary Ghanaians.

“The NPP seems to be paying dearly for its inaction and missteps while in power. Political parties must evolve by listening to their base and not by manipulating internal processes to serve a few,” he stressed.

Time for Genuine Reflection, Not Political Cosmetics

Prof. Gyamfi’s remarks formed part of a broader discussion on “The Loss of the NPP in the 2024 Elections, the Prospects of the Party in 2028, and Aligning with the UP Tradition.”

His intervention adds to the growing chorus of voices urging the NPP to abandon superficial posturing and embrace genuine structural renewal if it hopes to regain the trust of the electorate.
