The New Patriotic Party (NPP) of Ghana has set its sights on reclaiming power in the 2028 general election. According to Minority Leader Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the party's priority after its National Delegates Conference in Kumasi would be to unite its structures, rebuild trust with voters, and prepare for the next general election. This was stated during the conference on Saturday, October 3, 2026.
The NPP has completed its constitutional amendments and is finalizing its reorganization ahead of the 2028 elections. The party's focus now shifts to supporting its presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and securing parliamentary seats across all 276 constituencies. Afenyo-Markin emphasized that the party must work together to achieve its goals.
Afenyo-Markin, the Effutu MP, addressed party members at the conference, acknowledging that there would be winners and losers in the contest. However, he urged members not to view personal defeat as a defeat for the party. Instead, he encouraged them to remain united behind the party's presidential candidate, who has already been selected for the 2028 election.
The Minority Leader emphasized the importance of using the party's time in opposition to rebuild trust with voters, strengthen its structures, and develop policies that address the concerns of Ghanaians. He stated that the party must live with one purpose: to win back the trust of the people, defend democracy, and hold the government accountable.
Afenyo-Markin revealed that the NPP had reflected on its defeat in the 2024 elections and identified areas requiring improvement. The party aims to present a more credible and impactful vision and programs to voters as it seeks to regain power in 2028. This, he believes, will enable the party to effectively address the concerns of Ghanaians.
The NPP's National Delegates Conference in Kumasi marked a significant milestone in the party's preparations for the 2028 elections. Afenyo-Markin's address to party members highlighted the need for unity and a shared vision. The party's ability to implement its plans and policies will be crucial in determining its success in the next general election.
As the NPP prepares for the 2028 elections, the party's leadership and members will need to work together to achieve its goals.
