The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has amended its constitution as part of measures to build a strategic framework aimed at addressing the factors that led to its defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the unveiling of the amended constitution on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, stated that neglect of party executives as well as weakness in communication contributed to their defeat.

“Many of the challenges that resulted in our defeat in the 2024 Election have been addressed through this amendment. We are aware that one reason we did not secure the necessary votes to win the election was voter apathy, which was also fueled by the neglect felt by several former party executives.
“Under the revised constitution, we have expanded the electoral college to include former executives at both district and national levels with voting rights. This measure seeks to tackle the issue of apathy within our party,” he explained.
Justin Kodua also acknowledged criticisms regarding the party’s communication strategy.

He noted that despite the party’s numerous achievements, lack of coordination among communication directors limited the effectiveness of its messaging.
“Another factor contributing to our loss was criticism of our communication. We had accomplished a lot, but failed to communicate these achievements effectively, largely due to poor coordination among our communication directors,” he said.
Justin Kodua said the amendments reflect lessons learned from the 2024 Election and are designed to strengthen party structures, engagements, and messaging ahead of future contests.
