The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, says the party is focused on identifying and fixing its internal weaknesses before making renewed appeals to the Ghanaian public.
His remarks come in response to growing calls for the NPP to openly admit its failings in government and reconnect with voters following its defeat in the 2024 general elections as well as the concerns surrounding the party's announcement of January 31, 2026 as the date for its presidential primaries. "They say charity begins at home," Kodua stated on Channel One TV's The Point of View on Wednesday June 18. "So internally, what are the leakages?
What were the shortfalls of the thing that happened which culminated in us losing the elections?" he asked, stressing that internal reflection and reorganisation must precede public engagement.
Kodua explained that a comprehensive post-election review has been carried out by the Ocquaye committee, which looked beyond governance performance to include party structures, campaign strategy, messaging, and communication. "The committee looked at several aspects - the governance aspect, the party's internal systems or structures, our campaign strategy and message, and our communication.
