Former General Secretary of the , Obiri Boahen, has described his party's defeat in the 2024 general elections as extraordinary and abnormal.
According to the former General Secretary, the results of the election, including the number of parliamentary seats won by the party, bear testament to the extent of the defeat suffered by the NPP. "… it is no small issue because it is not something normal nor ordinary… First, consider the number of seats obtained by the NPP; it's something around the eighties.
Secondly, check the collation centers or electoral areas; it is just not normal," he stated in an interview on Okay FM.
On what may have accounted for the party's defeat, Nana Obiri Boahen, who is a private legal practitioner, among other things, said the decision not to deploy the military to polling stations on election day disfavored the NPP. "I believe that if soldiers were deployed, the story would have been different in about fifty to sixty constituencies," he said.
