The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to establish a committee to investigate the factors behind its significant defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Addressing a press conference at the party’s headquarters, National Chairman, Stephen Ayesu Ntim stated that the committee would invite candid feedback from party members to shape its reorganization strategy for future electoral contests.
Acknowledging the widespread disappointment among supporters, Mr Ntim expressed solidarity with their concerns and emphasized the importance of reflection and reform.
He underscored the need to review the party’s constitution, including processes for electing national executives and flag bearers, as part of broader efforts to revitalize the party.
“We were very hopeful and positive, and our aim was to secure an emphatic victory at the polls. And we went very hard at it. As a party, we put in our best efforts in the campaign. I commend all members of the various campaign teams of the party, from polling stations to the national level, who also put in their very best in the competition.
“There is no doubt that the outcome of the election was not what we hoped for. We may not have won the battle, but we haven’t lost the war on the quest for a better Ghana, shaped by the ideals and philosophies of the New Patriotic Party.
The election review committee, set to be formed in January 2025, will conduct a comprehensive post-mortem analysis of the election.
It will engage party stakeholders and the general public to identify the factors and circumstances leading to the defeat.
