Afoko promotes 3R agenda for power in 2028
At the heart of Mr Afoko’s campaign is his "3R Agenda," Reunite, Rebuild, and Recapture.
The former National Chairman, who held the post from 2014 to 2015, argues that this framework is the only viable path back to government in the 2028 general elections.
During these sessions, insiders suggest that Mr Afoko has been vocal about moving past the post-election "blame game."
He has reportedly urged the party leadership to focus on internal cohesion and has stood firm on his principle that the NPP must value “competence over ethnicity” when electing its next crop of national executives.
