Let’s Build a United Party Going Into Election 2028″ – UK Swindon Chapter Secretary

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) UK Swindon Chapter Secretary, Roberta Baaba Pobee, has called for a renewed focus on unity as the party prepares for the journey toward the 2028 general elections. Pobee emphasized that the foundation for success in 2028 must be built on a strong, united, and inclusive party structure that transcends personal interests and internal divisions.

She urged members to start laying the groundwork now, even as the party prepares for other electoral milestones in the coming years. According to her, the NPP’s vision of building a prosperous Ghana can only be achieved if the party itself remains cohesive and committed to its core principles.

“The 2028 elections may seem far off, but the work begins now,” Pobee declared. “We must not wait until the final hour to address issues of disunity and lack of coordination. A united party is a winning party, and the NPP has a duty to show Ghanaians that we are prepared, organized, and focused on delivering development for all.”

Reflecting on the party’s recent experiences electoral defeat, Pobee acknowledged the challenges of maintaining unity in a political environment often fraught with competition and differing opinions. She highlights the importance of embracing diversity within the party while fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.

“Unity doesn’t mean we all have to agree on everything, but it means we must prioritize the collective good of the party over individual ambitions. Let us engage in constructive dialogue, address grievances promptly, and ensure that every member feels heard and valued,” she noted.

Pobee also underscored the critical role of the NPP diaspora in shaping the party’s future. She pointed out that members living outside Ghana, such as those in the UK, are uniquely positioned to contribute their skills, resources, and perspectives to the party’s growth and electoral strategy.

To achieve a united front, Pobee called for a focus on inclusivity, particularly in engaging youth, women, and other underrepresented groups within the party. She emphasized the importance of grassroots mobilization and the active involvement of all party members in decision-making processes.

“We must create a party where everyone, regardless of their background, feels they have a role to play. The energy of the youth, the wisdom of our elders, and the dedication of our women are all essential to our success,” she said.

As part of her vision for the future, Pobee outlined a roadmap that includes capacity-building initiatives, strengthening internal communication, and fostering closer collaboration between the party’s national, regional, Constituencies, grassroots, international branches and chapters.

While acknowledging the immediate challenges facing the NPP, Pobee expressed optimism about the party’s prospects in the 2028 elections. She urged members to remain focused on the long-term vision and to resist distractions that could undermine the party’s progress.

“Our mission goes beyond winning elections—it’s about building a better Ghana for generations to come. The 2028 elections are another opportunity for us to demonstrate the transformative power of the NPP. But to get there, we must start with a united, disciplined, and forward-thinking party today,” she concluded.
