Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Awentami Afoko, has said the party is yet to realize its full potential.
Speaking on Starr Chat with Bola Ray on Thursday, September 4, 2025, Afoko described the NPP as a party still in the process of rebuilding and rebranding.
“The NPP as a party has not recognised its potential. It hasn’t achieved its potential. It’s still a party of working out and rebranding, rebuilding,” he stated.
He contrasted the NPP with its main rival, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which he described as a highly organised and militant party during the period he was active in frontline politics.

“I saw the NDC to be a militant party at the time that I came. It seems the roles have reversed,” Afoko noted.
According to him, after his removal from office through a court process, the NPP began nurturing vigilante groups that later became notorious in the country’s political space.
“After I had been thrown out by the court, we started developing Invisible Forces, Delta Forces, Bolgatanga Bulldogs, and we rather became militants,” he said.
