Franklin Cudjoe, President of IMANI Africa, has praised Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s recent address at the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Delegates Conference, describing it as a rare moment of truth about the party’s troubled state as per reports from MyNewsGH.
According to Cudjoe, the Minority Leader’s message mirrors findings from IMANI’s upcoming Sentiment Analysis Report, which paints a grim picture of the NPP’s public image.
He stated that Afenyo-Markin’s speech captured the “existential threat” facing the party, revealing internal disunity, poor leadership clarity, and the aftermath of electoral violence as factors fueling widespread discontent.
The IMANI report, which reviews public sentiment from June 16 to July 16, 2025, reveals only 3.9% of feedback on the NPP was positive, with a striking 3:1 ratio of negative to positive responses.
Afenyo-Markin, addressing the party’s post-2024 challenges, called for unity and reform.
“Our 2024 loss exposed our cracks… Yet this defeat is not our end,” he declared, urging the party to prioritize unity over ambition.
He warned that without collective discipline and visionary leadership, the NPP risks long-term damage.
Cudjoe stressed that Afenyo-Markin’s views are backed by IMANI’s extensive digital research, which analyzed over 4,700 posts across platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, reaching more than 31 million users.
He said the findings should not be ignored and must be weighed alongside traditional research tools like polling and grassroots feedback.
The IMANI report also identified a potential silver lining: 84.1% of public sentiment remains neutral
