NPP Forms Committee to Review 2024 Election Loss

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has established a committee to analyze its significant electoral defeat in the 2024 elections, where the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, John Dramani Mahama, won with 56.55% of the votes compared to NPP's 41.61%. National Chairman Stephen Ntim emphasized the need for the committee to investigate internal dynamics and decision-making processes, including potential constitutional amendments for electing party leaders. Critics, including Global Media Foundation's CEO Raphael Godlove Ahenu, argue that the NPP's reasons for their loss are misguided and suggest that the party should acknowledge its poor governance performance instead. The NPP aims to unite and strengthen its structure to prevent future electoral failures. The committee will also engage stakeholders and the public to gather insights on the defeat, highlighting the party's commitment to learning from this setback. The review process is set to commence in January 2025, aiming for comprehensive reform within the party.
