Someone who was this country’s Vice President for 8 years has suddenly become unworthy?—Sandra Ewool

On May 3, NPP member Sandra Ewool stirred conversation with a forthright Facebook post addressing claims that the party promotes ethnic favoritism. She firmly rejected suggestions that the New Patriotic Party operates as an “Akan-only” group, warning that tribal rhetoric threatens the unity of the party.

Ewool criticized the belief that only Akans should lead the NPP, arguing that such a mindset undermines the party’s commitment to nationwide inclusion.

“If we claim the NPP belongs to Akans alone, then we should dismantle our structures in the North and withdraw Northern MPs so that only Akans remain in leadership,” she stated bluntly.

Coming to the defense of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ewool questioned the logic of supporting him for two terms as Vice President but opposing his bid for the presidency.

“What changed? If he was good enough for eight years as Vice President, why not President?” she challenged.

She also criticized those who distanced themselves from the party after losing internal primaries, suggesting that their departure reflected a lack of democratic maturity and inflated self-importance.

Ewool reaffirmed her belief in the NPP’s anti-tribalist stance, urging the party to remain true to its founding principles. “The NPP was never built on tribalism. Let’s not lose sight of that,” she urged.
