“How Can I Enter a House Full of Familiar Spirits?” – Appiah Danquah Dismisses NPP Return

Private legal expert and spokesperson for the Movement for Change, Andrew Appiah Danquah, has firmly ruled out any return to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), arguing that the party has lost their political credibility and moral grounding as reported by Ghana Web

Speaking on TV3 NewDay, Danquah emphasized that the NPP no longer represents the values that once attracted many Ghanaians.

He warned against rejoining the party, describing it as “full of familiar spirits” and suggesting that its core identity has been altered under current leadership.

“People aggregate around a party when they find some values they resonate with. When Nana Addo managed to alter the DNA, he changed the soul of the NPP.

How can I go to a party that has become reprobate? How can I enter a house that is filled with familiar spirits?” he questioned.

He further noted that millions of Ghanaians have been alienated by the party’s shift, describing the situation as a displacement from what should have been a welcoming political home.

However, he hinted at new political opportunities for those seeking a platform aligned with their values.

The NPP recently announced a general amnesty for members who have faced disciplinary actions or suspensions, as part of an effort to promote reconciliation within the party.

The decision, unveiled on August 16, 2025, was taken during an Emergency National Council meeting chaired by acting National Chairman Danquah Smith Buttey.

Despite this move, Danquah maintains that the party has strayed too far from the foundational principles, revealing that he and other disillusioned supporters are unlikely to return.
