Private Legal Practitioner and New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Charles Owusu Juanah says Awentami Paul Afoko has already started engaging members of opposing camps within the party as part of efforts to build a united front ahead of the 2028 elections.
Lawyer Juanah, who is the National Chairman of Friends of Bawumia, said some NPP members who have lost key positions have become disgruntled and now behave as though the party belongs to them.
He said this attitude has contributed to the divisions within the party and created the need for a leadership figure capable of bringing the various groups back together.
Juanah believes Afoko has the personality and relationships necessary to undertake that reconciliation.
He revealed that the former chairman has already started reaching out to people from opposing camps.
“He has even begun interacting with opposing camps in order to form a united front ahead of the 2028 elections,” Juanah said.
According to him, Afoko’s engagement with rival groups shows his focus is on building the party rather than deepening existing divisions.
Juanah said the former chairman understands that the NPP cannot successfully prepare for the next election while its members remain divided.
“He has foresight, the vision, and strategy to ensure there’s a united front,” he said.
Juanah added that Afoko had already begun talks with some members as part of the process.
He said these engagements demonstrate a willingness to listen to different sides and create a platform where members who have fallen out with one another can work together.
“He has even begun talks with some members,” Juanah said.
He argued that Afoko’s approach also shows his understanding of leadership.
According to Juanah, leadership in the current circumstances requires someone who can speak to different factions without treating political disagreements as permanent divisions.
He said Afoko’s charisma allows him to engage people who may not belong to the same camp.
Juanah therefore believes the former chairman can help bring back members who feel alienated from the party.
“If there’s anyone who can ensure all disgruntled members come together, then it’s no other than Paul Afoko,” he said.
For Juanah, the reconciliation effort is important because the NPP will need a united internal structure before it can effectively organise for the 2028 election. He said Afoko’s current engagement with rival camps is therefore consistent with the former chairman’s broader “Reunite, Rebuild, and Recapture” message.

President John Dramani Mahama will be joining African heads of state, business leaders, investors and innovators shaping Africa’s next chapter, at the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum scheduled to take place from 2nd to 4th October 2026 in the historic city of Alamein on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
The three-day Alamein Africa Forum is established as a permanent African Business Forum to convene biennially in Egypt.
It is to become the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess, bridging the established engines of African growth with the new sectors defining its future.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export – Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union and AUDA-NEPAD, it is expected to bring together more than twenty (20) heads of state and government representatives alongside business leaders, bankers and development institutions.
Ghana’s President, who on 23rd September 2026 declared Ghana is open for business in New York after ringing the ceremonial closing bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market will be leading the Ghanaian delegation, to include the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu – Adjare, to the forum.
Other members of the Ghanaian delegation are the Head and Presidential Advisor for Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, Hon. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Alliance of Sahel States, Colonel Larry Gbevlo – Lartey alongside key Ghanaian private sector players.
Bringing together leaders in politics, business and policy from across the continent, the Alamein Africa Forum will provide a unique opportunity to shape Africa’s growth agenda by aligning policy and investment priorities, mobilising partnerships for implementation and strengthening financing and investment pathways.
The private sector must become an integral part of Agenda 2063, the African Union’s strategic fifty-year masterplan to transform the continent. The private sector is the core economic engine required to turn the African 2063 from an aspirational government roadmap into realized infrastructure, jobs, and value-added trade.
