Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has called upon supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to avoid assigning blame to one another for the party’s electoral defeat, cautioning that such behavior could further jeopardize party cohesion.
In a meeting with party officials from the Klottey Korley constituency, Dr. Bawumia identified voter apathy as the primary reason for the party’s loss.
He highlighted that an analysis of the election results revealed that the NPP inadvertently transferred power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), rather than the opposition party surpassing its performance from 2020.
“We fell short of our expectations, which is why we conceded. However, this does not signify the end. We may have lost a battle, but not the war. I urge all of you to remain hopeful. In this election, it was our actions that facilitated the NDC’s victory. Their numbers did not improve from 2020.
“Our support decreased by 40 percent. It is crucial for everyone to recognize that unity is our strength, while division leads to our downfall. I have witnessed the pain many are experiencing, yet I maintain a steadfast faith in God. His plans are beyond our understanding.
“Engaging in blame will only harm us. Let us unite and cease the blame game. We must focus on the future and work towards fortifying the party. This is not about personal ambitions. I am confident that we will emerge victorious.”
