Former Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has congratulated the new national executives of the party, urging them to succeed in steering the party's affairs for the next four years. Ahiagbah, who was vying for the 1st National Vice Chairman position but lost, expressed his wishes for a successful tenure. He emphasized the importance of uniting the party and empowering the grassroots for a victory in the 2028 general elections.

Ahiagbah took to social media to extend his congratulations to the winners of the 2026 NPP National Leadership Elections. In his message, he wished the new leadership success in uniting the party, empowering the grassroots, and leading the NPP to victory in 2028. This message was met with attention from various stakeholders within the party.

Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo also congratulated the outgone National Executive Committee of the NPP, led by the former Acting National Chairman Danquah Smith Buttey. He praised the members of the National Officers Elections Committee, chaired by Frederick Opare Ansah, and all delegates for the successful organisation and conduct of the Conference, which was held in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3.

The conference, according to President Akufo-Addo, demonstrated the vibrancy of the New Patriotic Party’s internal democratic processes. He extended his congratulations to the newly elected national executive officers of the Party, led by the new Chairman John Boadu. President Akufo-Addo expressed his best wishes for a fruitful mandate.

President Akufo-Addo stated that the conclusion of the Conference must mark the beginning of the progressive march of the Party’s collective aspirations. He emphasized that the Party must work towards a common goal of emerging victorious from the 2028 presidential and parliamentary elections. This, he believes, will enable a new NPP government to be formed under the leadership of Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.

The new NPP government, according to President Akufo-Addo, will promote the rule of law and the welfare of the ordinary Ghanaian. He called on all members of the party to come together to support the new leadership. The party's progress, he emphasized, depends on the collective efforts of its members.

The NPP's internal democratic processes have been a hallmark of the party's governance. The successful conduct of the Conference and the election of new national executives demonstrate the party's commitment to democracy. As the party looks forward to the 2028 elections, the new leadership will be crucial in shaping its strategy and direction.
