Introduction
Choosing the Right Leader for NPP: As the New Patriotic Party (NPP) prepares for its upcoming presidential primaries, one candidate’s campaign slogan stands out from the rest. Mr. Alan Kyeremanteng is running with the mantra, “Aduru me so!” or “It is my turn!” implying that he deserves to be the next candidate simply because of his long-standing history with the party. But is this really the best criterion to determine who should lead the party in the next elections?
Is Leadership About Seniority Or Competence
Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that Mr. Alan Kyeremanteng along with the other contenders such as Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, and Dr. Bawumia, are all highly qualified and respected members of the NPP. However, the idea that one’s turn in line is a sufficient qualification for leadership is questionable.
Leadership should be based on a candidate’s vision, track record, leadership skills, and ability to inspire and unite the party and the nation. The NPP needs a leader who can lead with competence, integrity, and accountability. A candidate’s length of service to the party alone should not be the determining factor for who gets to lead.
Moreover, the “It is my turn” mindset can create a sense of entitlement, which is not healthy for a party that aims to be democratic and merit-based. The NPP should prioritize merit and competence over seniority, as this will ensure that the party has the best candidate to face the challenges that lie ahead.
Additionally, the NPP needs a candidate who can appeal to a wide range of voters and not just the party faithful. Winning the next election will require a candidate who can connect with Ghanaians and inspire them with a compelling vision for the future.
Conclusion
Choosing the Right Leader for NPP: In conclusion, while it is understandable that Mr. Alan Kyeremanteng feels that it is his turn to lead the NPP, the party should not base its leadership on this criterion alone. The NPP needs a leader who is competent, visionary, and capable of inspiring the nation. As we approach the 2024 elections, it is important that the party makes a decision based on merit and not just seniority.
