Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, has expressed the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) acceptance of their defeat in the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
In a statement, the NPP’s Vice Presidential candidate affirmed the party’s respect for the will of the Ghanaian people and emphasized their commitment to introspection and improvement.
“The 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections resulted in a victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This was not the outcome we, in the NPP, envisaged; but we respect the verdict of the Ghanaian people. To Ghanaians, we have heard you clearly, and with humility, we accept. We will work with you to get it right,” he stated.
Acknowledging the disappointment among supporters, NAPO reassured them that efforts are already underway to analyze the party’s performance and address the contributing factors.
Dr. Prempeh revealed that he has held extensive discussions with the NPP’s flag bearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to reflect on the loss and chart a path forward.
“I am grateful to the Lord Almighty, the giver of life, for bringing me this far and for the honour of this opportunity given me to serve my Party and Ghana. In good time, we shall reflect further as a political party on the causes of our 2024 election loss,” he added.
The NPP Vice Presidential candidate called on supporters to remain united as the party strategizes for a stronger comeback.
