NPP members have been urged by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to “find ways to reconcile” following the party’s crushing loss in the 2024 general election.
Recognizing that the NPP’s journey had not been straightforward, he urged party members to continue to take pride in their accomplishments after winning two consecutive elections in 2016 and 2020.
At the Party’s National Delegates Conference in Accra, President Akufo-Addo urged the Party to prioritize unity in an address delivered on his behalf by his regime’s Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare.
He claimed that with communication, understanding, and dedication, the NPP could rebuild and reunite.
“Conference must reflect that ours is not just a political party but a family,” he said.
President Akufo-Addo asked the Party to use the good energy of the youth and aggressively include them in the rebuilding program in order to put the party back on track to retake power.
At the conference in Accra, more than 5,500 delegates are voting on proposed changes to the party’s constitution.
A possible elimination of the Special Electoral College system, which is used to choose the party’s presidential candidate, is one of the major reforms that will be discussed during the conference.
To improve the party’s base, further suggestions include creating Electoral Area Committees and reorganizing Constituency and Regional Executive Committees.
With the theme “Rebuilding Together with our Values,” the event aims to foster harmony and togetherness within the party and collaborate to retake power in 2028.
