A pressure group belonging to the (NPP) has called for the dissolution of the National Executive Committee (NEC) following the Party's defeat in the 2024 general election. "The defeat of the NPP in the 2024 elections marks one of the darkest moments in the history of our Party…In light of this monumental failure, we demand the immediate resignation of the current leadership, including all campaign heads." At a press conference in Accra on Thursday, Gbande Nabin Yussif, Convener of the group, blamed the party leadership for failing to "develop and implement a winning strategy" in the December 7 polls.
The Concerned Patriots of Change of the NPP proposed the establishment of an interim committee to manage the Party's affairs until congress was held to elect new leaders "capable of charting a fresh course" for the Party.
He cited poor planning, disorganisation, and lack of accountability by NEC as some factors of the "crushing defeat" on Election Day. "Their abdication of responsibility has undermined the trust of party members and the Ghanaian electorate," the Convener stated.
The Concerned Patriots of Change also called for "a comprehensive and independent investigation" into the root causes of this defeat and demanded answers to allegations of mismanagement of campaign funds. "Key party stalwarts, who could have provided invaluable counsel and leadership, were marginalised during critical moments…Leadership exhibited incompetence, inexperience, and a blatant disregard for the concerns of the rank and file. "We demand that the findings of this investigation be made public to ensure transparency.
