I dont know why people are condemning Ayiko Otoos observation. The truth is that theres that perception about the party. Professor Paul Nugent, a Professor of Comparative African History and Director of the Centre of African Studies, University of Edinburgh made a similar observation about the NPP in his work of December 19, 2012 titled GHANA: POST ELECTIONS and published by Chatham House, UK. The professor stated in his publication In a nutshell, while the NPP has struggled to project itself on the national stage, the NDC has shown that it is capable of winning votes across the country. What the NDC has successfully managed to do is to project the party as the champion of the margins. The NPP has a problem on its hands in that it is widely seen as being the preserve of competing power blocs in the Ashanti and Eastern Region, in which the rest of the countries are essentially spectators. One merely has to pose the question to see the nature of the problem: could the NPP ever be expected to field a candidate from the Northern Region? Unfortunately, we are pretending theres no such perception to deal. Its often that in politics, perceptions are even more dangerous than realities. We better address this perception or risk sinking with it.
