Konadu Taylor calls for unity in NPP

Mr. Konadu Taylor's Call for Unity in the NPP

Mr. Theophilus Konadu (TK) Taylor is a member of the National Patrons of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He believes the party is at a critical point. Absolute tolerance and forgiveness are now essential.

Mr. Taylor noted that the party faces divisions and factionalism. Any differing opinion is often met with contempt. He urged for peace and unity to help reorganize the party.

This call came during an interview on Saturday at the University of Cape Coast. Mr. Taylor attended a TESCON UCC program titled “Navigating the Entrepreneurial Journey and Social Networking” as a guest speaker.

He previously served as chairman for the Assin South Constituency. Mr. Taylor expressed surprise at losing to the NDC in 2024 elections. He believed they had done enough to deserve another term.

The loss has caused unease among party members, he said. Frustrations are natural after such defeats, leading to expressions of anger.

He urged members not to blame each other but to accept defeat together. Forgiveness is crucial for moving forward and strengthening the party.

“It’s painful, but this isn’t the first time a governing party has lost,” he stated. The NDC also faced defeat but regrouped and won again.

Mr. Taylor appealed for unity within the party to reclaim power from the NDC in future elections. Holding onto grudges will hinder their progress, he warned.

He emphasized that public disputes weaken their credibility with voters. The electorate needs to see them as a united alternative to the NDC.

Since their significant loss last December, deep divisions have emerged within the NPP, highlighting a lack of unity among members.
