The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to set up a dedicated committee to examine the reasons behind its significant loss in the 2024 elections.
At a press conference at the party’s headquarters, National Chairman Stephen Ayesu Ntim revealed that the committee would actively seek honest feedback from party members to inform its restructuring efforts ahead of future elections.
Acknowledging the deep disappointment felt by supporters, Ntim assured that the party understands their concerns and emphasized the need for honest self-reflection. He also stressed the importance of reviewing key aspects of the party’s constitution, especially the processes for electing national executives and flag bearers.
“While we were optimistic about securing a decisive victory, the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for. We gave it our all during the campaign, and I commend every member, from local polling stations to national campaign teams, for their hard work,” Ntim stated.
Looking ahead, he affirmed the party’s commitment to its long-term vision for a better Ghana, stating, “Though we didn’t win the battle, we haven’t lost the war. The quest for a better Ghana, rooted in the principles of the NPP, continues.”
In January 2025, the party will establish an election review committee to conduct a thorough post-mortem of the election results. The committee will engage with party stakeholders and the public to uncover the factors contributing to the defeat.
Former President John Dramani Mahama was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election with 56.55% of the votes, defeating NPP’s Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who garnered 41.61%.
Mahama’s victory also secured a majority for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament, setting the stage for his return to office.
