NewzA senior member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former Senior Presidential Advisor under the Akufo-Addo administration, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, has warned that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) risks losing power in the next general election if it fails to deliver on its campaign promises. According to him, Ghanaians will assess the government’s performance and could vote against the party if their expectations are not met. Speaking to Adom News in Akyem Oda in the Eastern Region, Mr Osafo-Maafo expressed confidence that voters would not hesitate to reject the NDC should the party fail to fulfil its commitments.
He said the party would be “uprooted like mushrooms” in the next election if it disappoints the electorate. Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Akyem Oda, Alexander Akwasi Acquah, has described the massive turnout at the NPP’s constituency elections as evidence of renewed commitment among party members to reorganise and return to power in 2028. He said the enthusiasm shown by the grassroots demonstrates their determination to work towards the party’s comeback and support its presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The MP called for unity among party members, stressing that cohesion and dedication would be critical to achieving the party’s political ambitions ahead of the next general election. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has inaugurated its National Elections Committee to oversee preparations for the party’s upcoming National Conference and the election of national officers. The committee will be chaired by former Member of Parliament for Suhum, Frederick Opare-Ansah, with former Deputy Finance Minister Abena Osei-Asare serving as secretary.
Its mandate includes planning, organising, and supervising all processes leading up to the National Conference, as well as conducting the election of the party’s national executives. Other members of the committee are Evans Nimako, Oboshie Sai Cofie, Anthony Abayifa Karbo, Salam Ama Appianin Damata, Eric Ntori and Frank Davies. The Ashanti Regional Chairman will also serve on the committee once the party concludes its regional elections in the region.
The Acting National Chairman of the NPP, Danquah Smith Butey, officially inaugurated the committee and expressed confidence in its ability to discharge its responsibilities with integrity, fairness, transparency and professionalism. The party also congratulated the members and urged them to ensure a credible and successful electoral process in the interest of the NPP.
