The 2024 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged party members to closely examine and address the challenges that emerged during the recent elections.
He emphasized the importance of resolving internal issues that contributed to their defeat in the last general election.
Speaking at a meeting with party executives and supporters from five constituencies in the Bono East Region, Dr Bawumia stressed that the party’s future success relies on renewed purpose, unity, and self-reflection.
He underscored the need to identify and rectify these shortcomings to enhance future electoral performance and strengthen the party’s position, according to a report by Insight Ghana.
“The NPP belongs to all of us, and we need to address everything that went wrong in the electioneering campaign,” he stated during the gathering, which included members from Pru East, Atebubu-Amantin, Pru West, Sene West, and Sene East constituencies.
The 2024 Election brought about significant developments and outcomes that have prompted internal discussions within the NPP.
While expressing optimism about the party’s prospects in the 2028 Election, he cautioned that regaining power would require a formidable and coordinated effort among all party structures.
“We must remain formidable and resolute,” he added, emphasising the necessity for better collaboration among constituency executives, grassroots members, patrons, and electoral coordinators.
In a conciliatory gesture, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia also apologised to any party members who felt mistreated or sidelined during the last campaign cycle, the report added.
“We need to forgive each other’s offenses and forge ahead in unity,” he urged, highlighting the importance of healing internal divisions.
Dr Bawumia was accompanied by several key party figures, including former Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, former Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul; Tano North MP, Dr Gideon Boako; and NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong.
Also present were the National Third Vice Chairman of the NPP, Masawudu Osman; Dr Anyass Ibrahim, former CEO of the National Builders Corps (NABCo); and Nana Akomea, former NPP Communications Director.
