JFK’s biggest challenge ahead of elections 2024
Ahead of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP’s National Delegates Conference and national executives elections, the Ashanti Regional Chairman, Wontumi and 14 other regional Chairmen openly declared their support for the incumbent General Secretary, John Boadu.
According to the 15 defamed party chairmen that Justin Kordua is supposed to work with now, he is not fit to and cannot lead the party to victory. The only person they claimed is capable of leading them to break the 8 is John Boadu. So, how are they going to break the 8 with somebody they deem unfit and incapable of leading them?
Of course, that is not the biggest challenge facing Lawyer Kodua. But to prove them wrong, he should be able to unite the party at all levels; from the roots through the trunk and branches to the leaves at the top to bear healthy electoral fruits to break the 8.
His biggest challenge is that already Chairman Wontumi and other party functionaries including parliamentarians like the Majority Leader have openly declared their support for the Vice President, Dr Muhammadu Bawumia.It is also worth noting that Bawumia’s campaign team was reported to have endorsed John Boadu ahead of the just ended elections.
Beneath the unfair and unjust treatment of other prominent members of the party like Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten and other aspirants by some functionaries of the establishment are very deep cracks that require tactful but firm leadership to address.
As some delegates from Sunyani rightly indicated, they voted against John Boadu because he was not fair to all and arrogantly pursued his biased cause. The grassroots desire to see fair application of the rules and regulations and directives of the party. Dr Muhammadu Bawumia and his supporters should not and must not be treated differently merely because the Flagstaff House is behind them.
