Founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho-Nyaho Tamakloe, has appealed for the party to reclaim its lost identity, warning that without urgent action, the NPP risks total collapse.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews’ The Probe on Sunday, April 27, Dr. he lamented that the NPP tradition, built on selflessness and service, has been overtaken by individuals driven by the pursuit of wealth and personal gain. He linked this shift in values to the party’s crushing defeat in the 2024 elections.
He noted that before any meaningful rebuilding can happen, the NPP must first focus on uniting and restoring its core values. “We need to reclaim the soul of the party. And that can only happen with the right leadership,” he said.
Dr. Tamakloe pointed to the early pillars of the party, citing figures like B.J. Da Rocha and R. R. Amponsah — individuals he described as selfless and committed to the public good.
He added, “The NPP tradition is no more. What we have now is a party where individuals crave wealth and property.
“It’s one of the reasons we were defeated so severely. The party has detached itself from the masses,” Dr. Tamakloe stated. “If we claim our followers didn’t vote, what caused that? We must be honest with ourselves.”
He further called for the immediate removal of the current leadership, insisting that without a change at the top, efforts to revive the party would be futile. “If we allow things to continue as they are, the party will be totally destroyed,” he warned.
