The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced its intention to regain political supremacy in the upcoming 2028 general elections, asserting that no parliamentary seat currently occupied by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will be safe.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin expressed these views while speaking to executives of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) in Parliament on Wednesday, March 18.
He encouraged party members to enhance grassroots mobilization, emphasizing that success will hinge on discipline, loyalty, and ongoing interaction with voters.
“If elections were to occur today, the NPP would emerge as the majority, but achieving this will necessitate hard work and loyalty. We are confident that you will embrace this responsibility,” he remarked.
The Effutu MP criticized the current government, alleging that it has failed to fulfill significant campaign promises, including the proposed 24-hour economy initiative. He also pointed to the lack of an increase in cocoa producer prices and recent hikes in utility tariffs as indicators of what he termed underperformance.
Additionally, he urged TESCON members to dismiss assertions that the NPP marginalizes specific ethnic groups, asserting that the party is inclusive and dedicated to representing all Ghanaians, irrespective of their background.
During the same event, the Member of Parliament for Akuapim North, Samuel Awuku, reiterated the party’s stance, proclaiming that the NPP will vigorously contest every seat currently held by the NDC.
“We will collaborate with our colleagues to engage with campuses. The 2028 election is a serious matter; no NDC seat is secure. We will treat every NDC seat as if it were a regular seat,” he stated.
