Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the (NPP), has stated that the findings of the Mike Oquaye Committee have brought clarity and finality to the internal discourse surrounding the party's loss in the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the NPP's national headquarters in Accra on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 ahead of the party's nationwide Thank You Tour, Dr Bawumia noted that the report debunks the propaganda and misinformation that had sought to lay undue blame on certain individuals and factions within the party. "The Mike Oquaye Committee's work has been thorough, impartial, and backed by facts," Dr Bawumia asserted. "It has put to bed all the propaganda and mischief that followed our electoral defeat.
The truth is now clear to every committed party member and Ghanaian who seeks to understand what truly happened." The committee, chaired by former Speaker of Parliament Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, was tasked with conducting a post-election review following the NPP's loss to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the December 2024 elections.
Dr Bawumia urged party members to rally behind the recommendations of the report, stressing the need for unity and reform as the party prepares for the future. "This report is not about blame; it is about learning and growing stronger.
