Mr. Afoko’s decision is motivated by a desire to return the NPP to its founding values and democratic principles. “After extensive reflection and encouragement from many well-meaning members, supporters, and stakeholders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), I am honoured to formally announce my intention to contest for the position of National Chairman in the upcoming election of national officers.
