Stay and fight for the course of NPP -Chairman Dollar tells Amoako Baah

Eric Nartey Yeboah, known as Chairman Dollar, is the Greater Accra Regional Second Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He has urged Dr. Richard Amoako Baah to reconsider leaving the NPP to form a new political movement.

In an interview with Classfmonline.com, Yeboah stressed that experienced party members like Dr. Amoako Baah are vital for reforming the NPP. He called the decision to create a rival party unfortunate and misguided.

“Dr. Amoako Baah is highly intelligent and experienced,” Yeboah said. “Leaving the party now is like fleeing your home from robbers instead of fighting back.”

Dr. Amoako Baah recently launched a new political movement called the New Patriotic Front (NPF). At a press conference in Accra, he accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's leadership of betraying core NPP values.

“The NPP we believed in has been ruined by arrogance and corruption,” he stated. “It’s no longer about principles but personal gain.”

He claimed that the New Patriotic Front would offer Ghanaians an honest alternative focused on accountability and public service.

In response, Chairman Dollar compared Dr. Amoako Baah’s departure to abandoning past heroes like Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia. These leaders stayed within the party to restore its values during tough times.

“I urge Dr. Amoako Baah to reflect on our shared history,” Yeboah said. “The NPP isn’t perfect, but it needs its best minds to face challenges, not divide us.”

This split has sparked discussions about internal democracy and leadership accountability within the NPP as they approach the 2028 elections.
