The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has formed an 11-member committee to investigate the party’s defeat in the 2024 general election.
The committee will be chaired by Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, a former Speaker of Parliament.
This decision was made during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Accra yesterday Jan 2, 2025, chaired by the party’s National Chairman, Stephen Ayesu Ntim.
The committee’s mandate is to assess the factors contributing to the NPP’s loss and recommend strategies for rebuilding the party and preparing for future elections.
It is expected to engage stakeholders, including party members, grassroots supporters, and political analysts, to ensure a thorough review.
The committee is to commence work immediately, with its findings anticipated to play a pivotal role in shaping the NPP’s strategy moving forward.
Party members and supporters have been encouraged to contribute and support the process to ensure a comprehensive and impactful investigation.
It may be recalled during a news conference held on 23 December 2024, at the party’s headquarters in Asylum Down, Accra, Mr Ntim announced the party’s intention to establish an election review committee in January 2025.
The purpose of the committee is to conduct a thorough post-mortem analysis of the party’s defeat in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
The committee will engage with party stakeholders and the general public to identify the factors and circumstances that led to the loss.
It will also examine the need for constitutional amendments and restructuring of the party’s internal decision-making processes, particularly regarding the election of presidential and parliamentary candidates, as well as party executives.
