Mr Kofi Nsiah Amponsah, Secretary to the Ashanti Regional Founding Members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has appealed to all faithful of the party to put behind them the defeat of the 2024 election and quickly reorganize.
“Let us put behind us the defeat of the party in the 2024 elections, quickly reorganise ourselves, and put the pieces together for a better future,” he stated.
Mr Nsiah Amponsah in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Kumasi said indulging in blame game, pointing accusing fingers, and casting insinuations would not help the party in anyway.
He said, “there are known factors like delegates system, imposition of candidates on delegates, arrogance, abuse of power, among other things that contributed to the abysmal performance of the party in the 2024 elections.
“The party suffered some of apathy in 2008, and the worst form of it in 2024. Any time apathy set in, we moved straight into opposition.”
He said, “The founding fathers who risked their lives in the revolutionary period, to register the NPP, and who have been neglected all these years, must now be included in all the decision-making processes of the party.”
“For it is said that a country, organization, or party that doesn’t honour its heroes, were not worth dying for,” he stated.
Mr. Kofi Obiri Yeboah, Chairman of the group, reiterated the urgent need for all members to party to remain calm, take a deep introspection, confront and diagnose all the possible root causes of our defeat, and come out with unbiased and objective proposals, for a holistic redress.
“The task is enormous, but not unsurmountable; so, let’s take the bull by the horn, and work together for the betterment of our great party,” he stated, adding, “We only need an all inclusive review committee, to get the work done.”
