The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has released a statement addressing the outcome of the 2024 general elections and related issues.
The Party’s Steering Committee, following an emergency meeting, expressed gratitude to its members, executives, and volunteers for their commitment during the campaign, despite the Party’s defeat.
The statement acknowledged the pain and disappointment felt by supporters but urged them to remain calm as the Party focuses on unity, restructuring, and constructive feedback to prepare for future challenges.
“Our surest bet going forward is to unite, re-group, and re-strategize for future battles,” the Committee emphasized.
The NPP accused the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of engaging in violent and coercive tactics to influence parliamentary results in constituencies such as Dome-Kwabenya, Tema Central, and Akwatia, among others.
Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP General Secretary, declared, “This is unacceptable! This is lawlessness! It defies logic that a party declared winner would promote such acts.”
The Party further claimed that NDC supporters held Electoral Commission (EC) officials and NPP candidates at gunpoint in some areas, while engaging in destruction and looting of properties.
Frimpong added, “Despite Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s patriotic decision to concede early, the NDC has continued these despicable acts, undermining our democracy and peace.”
The NPP criticized the Ghana Police Service for failing to act decisively and called on Ghanaians to condemn the NDC’s alleged lawlessness.
The statement concluded by urging the public to stand for peace and democracy, declaring, “This is definitely not the change Ghanaians voted for!”
