Kwamena Duncan has urged the New Patriotic Party to, as a matter of urgency, engage with the party's grass roots and disabuse their minds of the erroneous impressions of and mistrust for the party arising from the smear campaigns prior to the party's just-ended presidential election.
The former Central Regional Minister noted that interactions with the grass roots show they are harbouring some misconceptions and falsehoods that have been planted in their minds about the New Patriotic Party due to the things that some of the aspirants said on their campaign tours.
He warned that if the ill-conceived views are not dealt with by the party, it will badly affect them.
He called on the leadership of the party, especially the constituency executives, to hold fora with the supporters to clear all misunderstandings and lies they have been fed with in order to lay a firm foundation for the New Patriotic Party in their march to the 2024 elections.
"There is the need for the party to organize constituency durbars because a certain seed of mistrust, a certain seed of incitement has happened down there against leadership, against government, against Ministers, against CEOs," he strongly proposed.
To him, the party has an assignment to ensure "the waters down there must be calmed".
"The party people must be engaged with, and some disabusing of what has gone on and what has been placed in their minds must take place...The party must move and move quickly," he further appealed.
Kwamena Duncan gave these admonitions on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo".

Ato Kwamena, you think the grassroots are foooools right? They are blind to see what happened during the election? You guys deliberately removed some of the delegates who were supporting other candidates names from the register including a member of parliament, Cynthia Morison because he didn’t support your candidate and you think the delegates are stupiiid, how can a whole non performed government machinery support one candidate and continue to threaten the rest and you think they are foools. Prepare yourself for opposition because Ghanaians are going to vote massively against Dr Bawumia big time. Ghanaians gave you opportunity to bring a person they trust and believe can do the job despite the abysmal performance of the government but because of your corruption you decided to force Dr Bawumia on the party by all foul means which you did. Go ahead and campaign for him and tell them the economy is good, inflation is down, dollar to cedi is down, Ghanaians are no more suffering, teachers are now happy, nurses are happy, kayayes are happy, drivers are happy. They are no more suffering as Dr Bawumia said when Mahama was in power. Opposition is waiting for you in 2024 elections, prepare yourself, steal what you can because time is running out.
