A founding member of the New Patriotic Party Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe says the NPP has no chance of winning the November elections with a tattered front.

The former military officer and medical doctor said the NPP has no message to sell to Ghanaians with just a few months to elections and wonders how the flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo can lead the party to wrestle power from the ruling NDC.

“Nowhere in political history…have I seen such a divided front that have won an election and if we go the way we are going there is no way we can win against the NDC.

“We have a tattered front and we don’t have a message,” Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe told host of GH Today Kafui Dey in an exclusive interview.

He added “as a political party if you don’t have a message and you have a fragmented front then you become desperate, so I think that party is desperate...I have known Nana Addo for fifty years and he has no message.

Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe who is a suspended member of the NPP accused the party of selective treatment adding that he is yet to know the reason for his suspension.

“I don’t know why I was suspended, until now nobody has given me a reason...according to a letter it was because of certain remarks that I had made in the past.

“...It is amazing because people have made ethnocentric comments, my good friend Yaw Osafo Marfo’s comments really shocked me…there is some selective treatment in the NPP and for reasons not known to me people who are supposed to be talking in the party are not talking,” Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said.
