The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) bid for a third consecutive term in the December 7, 2024, general election ended in defeat, with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) securing a decisive victory.
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, the NPP’s running mate, has attributed the party’s loss to internal party challenges.
In an interview with Umaru Sanda, NAPO pointed to long-standing governance issues within the party as a significant factor that hampered its performance at the polls.
He argued that the loss was not solely due to economic challenges but was more deeply rooted in unresolved internal conflicts and organisational flaws within the NPP.
NAPO emphasized that these governance issues have been a recurring problem for the party, citing past experiences where the NPP had to learn valuable lessons from its mistakes.
“MPs were begging people to go and vote, but they said they were not going to vote. That is not about economic mismanagement, it is about a deep-seated problem the party hasn’t addressed,” he stated.
The NPP’s defeat has been attributed to various factors, including missteps and internal challenges. Analysts and party insiders point to key factors that undermined the party’s performance, leading to this outcome.
NAPO’s comments come as the NPP begins to reflect on its defeat and plan for the future. In a statement issued on December 11, NAPO called for a period of “honest introspection and reflection” and assured Ghanaians that the party would bounce back stronger.
