The NPP’s Vice Presidential Candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, widely known as NAPO, has graciously accepted the party’s defeat in the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
In a statement, he noted his respect for the will of the Ghanaian electorate and stressed the importance of introspection to strengthen the party for future success.
“The 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections resulted in a victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This was not the outcome we, in the NPP, envisaged; but we respect the verdict of the Ghanaian people. To Ghanaians, we have heard you clearly and with humility we accept. We will work with you to get it right,” NAPO stated.
Acknowledging the disappointment felt by NPP supporters, he expressed heartfelt gratitude for their unwavering dedication and contributions during the campaign.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh underscored the need for the party to learn from the electoral outcome.
“I am grateful to the Lord Almighty, the giver of life, for bringing me this far and for the honour of this opportunity given me to serve my Party and Ghana. I have had extensive discussions with our flag bearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to reflect on the outcome of the elections and, in good time, we shall reflect further as a political party on the causes of our 2024 election loss,” he noted.
He revealed that initial discussions within the NPP’s leadership had already begun, focusing on critically analysing the election results and identifying areas for improvement to better serve the party’s goals and the people of Ghana.
NAPO assured supporters that the NPP remains committed to rebuilding and positioning itself as a stronger and more united force in Ghana’s political landscape.
