Former Speaker of Parliament, Mike Oquaye
An 11-member committee led by former Speaker of Parliament Prof. Mike Oquaye has been formed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to look into the party’s 2024 election defeat.
The committee has three months to complete its job and submit a report to the National Council.
The committee’s mandate, according to the party’s general secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, includes examining the internal elections and campaign plan, determining the issues that caused the electoral loss, and suggesting remedies.
Following a fierce contest, former President John Dramani Mahama made a stunning comeback to government when he was proclaimed the victor of the 2024 presidential election. On December 9, the Electoral Commission (EC) declared that Mahama had received 6,328,397 votes, or 56.55% of the total votes cast.
His primary NPP opponent, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, received 4,657,304 votes, or 41.61% of the total, however he lost.
In addition, Mahama’s victory gave the National Democratic Congress (NDC) a significant triumph by securing a majority in Parliament.
As he gets ready to return to the presidency, Mahama’s mandate is strengthened by the fact that the NDC has already secured over 180 seats, including important constituencies that the NPP had previously held.
