Respected statesman and economist, Kwame Pianim has convened leading figures of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at a private gathering aimed at promoting party unity and steering the upcoming presidential race onto a more constructive and peaceful path.
According to a post on the official Good Evening Ghana Facebook page sighted by Citi News on Tuesday June 24, the influential elder statesman was joined by notable personalities including Kwasi Abeasi and Ghana’s former High Commissioner to the UK, Paapa Owusu Ankomah.
Together, they shared a platform to “guide the NPP presidential race into a sound lane,” signaling an effort to reduce internal tensions and refocus the party’s energy on rebuilding after its 2024 electoral defeat.
The event brought together several presidential aspirants and senior party figures, including former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, Abetifi MP, Bryan Acheampong, former Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and former Railways Minister, Joe Ghartey.
“Kwame Pianim’s renewed interest in NPP matters must come as a fountain of hope for the future. The elephant may be gathering itself again,” the post noted, referring to the NPP’s symbol.
It added, “Adversity in opposition can have some advantages,” hinting at a possible silver lining following the party’s loss in the 2024 general elections.
“Hopefully, the narrative should change,” it concluded.
