Dr. Elvis Botah reflected on the importance of perseverance and strategic leadership within political organisations, urging members to remain in their parties and address challenges rather than abandoning them. “If you are a real leader, you stay and write the wrongs. Leaving after an election loss does not strengthen the party; it weakens it,” he said on Metro TV monitored by Lovinghananews.comr. He contrasted constructive engagement with emotional exits, citing the 2024 election as an example. “The NDC did not win because they were better; the NPP lost. Leaders should stay to ensure the party is built to expectations,” he…

Dr. Elvis Botah clarified the significance of the Danquah-Dombo-Busia (DDB) lineage within the NPP, stressing that the tradition represents ideology rather than ethnic exclusivity. The political analyst noted that many critics misunderstand the symbolism, interpreting it as limiting leadership opportunities to specific groups. “The categorisation of the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition is not to say that we are limiting it to certain tribes. It is about leadership and organisational history,” he said on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana, monitored by Lovinghananews.com.
