Let’s reflect on way forward towards making NPP strong again- Afenyo-Markin to NPP members

The Minority Leader, Mr Alexander Afenyo-Markin has urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to use the periods of Lent and Ramadan to reflect on the way forward towards making the Party stronger again to recapture power in the 2028 elections.
In a social media post, Mr Afenyo-Markin said although most of the NPP members were disappointed with the outcome of the 2024 elections, however, they should gird their loins and move forward with determination and hard work to recapture power come 2028.
“I know we’re all heartbroken, disappointed, depressed and not happy about the outcome of the elections.
“It is to be expected because when you’re going into an election and you don’t win, it comes with a lot of such disappointment. But that was yesterday. Today is another day. The way to prepare for the future is hard work, forgiveness, and collective determination to sacrifice for the good of our party,”Mr Afenyo-Markin advised.
Mr Afenyo-Markin, also the Member of Parliament for Effutu constituency in the Central Region, entreated the NPP supporters and sympathizers to eschew acts of mudslinging and name calling on the social media and traditional media outlets, saying; “This is not the way to go”.
The maverick legislator underscored the need for members of the party to deal with any misunderstanding and issues internally by using the party’s internal governance structures.
He was of the firm belief that Professor Mike Oquaye’s Committee constituted by the. Party’s National Council to probe into the causes) for the NPP’s defeat in the polls would soon come out with its report to show the way forward.
“What we should do is patiently wait for the outcome of the Committee’s report. The NDC that has overwhelming majority in Parliament now had gone through this before. The NPP in 1996 also went through this with 61 seats in Parliament but with J. H. Mensah as Majority Leader, worked hard to overturn our numbers in 2000 elections,” he pointed out.
The Majority Leader, thus, assured that with the current “Mighty Minority” in Parliament with 88 seats, they were determined to turn the odds and make a comeback in the next general elections.
