General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong
The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has revealed that he has identified certain individuals within the party whom he intends to hold accountable for engaging in blame games following the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Speaking in an interview on Kessben TV, which was shared on social media, Kodua Frimpong stated that he is prepared to address accusations that he contributed to the party’s loss.
He emphasized that he has targeted specific individuals who might blame him for the defeat and warned that he would deal with them accordingly.
“I have targeted some people who will accuse me, saying, ‘General Secretary, you were among the people that caused our defeat,’ and they will see what will happen,” he said.
Kodua Frimpong attributed the party’s loss to strategic missteps, including allowing the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to select their presidential candidate seven months before the NPP did.
“NDC named its candidate in 2023, and you name yours in November. It means you have given them free space,” he explained.
He further noted that the election was not just a single event but a culmination of processes leading up to December 7, 2024.
“We had nine events in 2023. I want this to be on record. Election is a process and not an event. December 7 didn’t just come about; a lot of processes led to December 7,” he added.
The Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, on Monday, December 9, 2024, declared John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) the winner of the 2024 election, with a total of 6,328,397 votes.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP received 4,657,304 votes.
Mahama’s party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), achieved historic success by gaining a majority in Parliament.
