Former Bekwai MP Joseph Osei-Owusu has disclosed that the New Patriotic Party's internal post-election report revealed a troubling trend - more than two million voters in the party's strongholds chose not to participate in the last general election.

According to him, their silence sent a message the party can no longer ignore. "The report shows that a little over two million people around our strongholds did not go out to vote.

They also told us a story," he said on Citi FM's Eyewitness News.

Osei-Owusu acknowledged that this disengagement reflected voter disappointment and served as a painful but necessary wake-up call. "They made us look at what we did wrong… Things we said, things we overlooked, things we ought to have known, things we ought not to have done - but did," he admitted.
