NPP Establishes 11-Member Committee to Investigate 2024 Electoral Defeat
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has set up an 11-member committee, chaired by former Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Oquaye, to investigate the party’s loss in the 2024 general elections. This decision was made during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Accra, chaired by National Chairman Stephen Ntim.
Committee’s Mandate
The committee’s primary objective is to examine the factors that led to the NPP’s defeat and recommend strategies for rebuilding the party and preparing for future elections. To ensure a comprehensive review, the committee will engage with stakeholders, including party members, grassroots supporters, and political analysts.
Afenyo-Markin Retained as Minority Leader
In another significant development, the NEC confirmed Alexander Afenyo-Markin as the Minority Leader for the 9th Parliament. This decision reflects the party’s confidence in his leadership abilities to effectively represent the NPP in Parliament and hold the majority accountable.
Emphasis on Unity
National Chairman Stephen Ntim emphasized the importance of the committee’s work and called on party members to remain united during this period of reflection and rebuilding. “This is a critical moment for the NPP. We must take this opportunity to learn from our setbacks and emerge stronger and more determined,” he said.
Next Steps
The committee is expected to begin work immediately, with its findings anticipated to play a crucial role in shaping the NPP’s strategy moving forward. Party members and supporters are encouraged to provide input and support the process to ensure a thorough and impactful investigation.
As the NPP navigates this challenging phase, the outcomes of the committee’s work and the leadership of the Minority in Parliament will be closely watched by political observers and stakeholders alike.
