Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Awentami Paul Afoko, has expressed optimism that the party will form the next government, with him leading as National Chairman. He made this statement during his ongoing campaign tour in the Western, Central, and Eastern Regions of Ghana. Afoko's prediction is that the NPP will only need two years in opposition before returning to power.
Afoko's message to delegates has centered on his 3Rs Campaign Blueprint, which includes Reunite, Rebuild, and Recapture Power. He believes this offers the clearest path back to government for the NPP. The former National Chairman emphasized the significance of party unity as the bedrock of victory in the 2028 general election. He urged delegates to set aside their differences and rally behind him to become the National Chairman.
According to Afoko, the party cannot afford to dwell on past internal divisions. His first priority as Chairman would be to reunite all factions of the NPP under one banner ahead of 2028. He explained that the party has all the ingredients for victory, but lacks unity. Afoko's message to every constituency and region is to set aside differences, reunite as one family, and rebuild the structures that have made the NPP formidable in the past.
On rebuilding, Afoko pledged to strengthen grassroots structures, revamp constituency and polling station organization, and restore confidence among party foot soldiers who feel neglected. He argued that a solidly rebuilt party machinery, combined with unity at the top, would naturally translate into recapturing power in 2028. This approach has resonated with constituency executives and TESCON members, who have drawn large crowds to hear Afoko's vision for the party's future.
Afoko's tour has taken him across several regions in the period leading up to the party's National Chairmanship contest. His engagements have consistently drawn large crowds eager to hear his vision for the party's future. With the election for National Chairman scheduled for October 3rd, Afoko is intensifying his efforts, banking on his unity and 3Rs message to win over delegates in the weeks leading up to the vote.
The election for National Chairman is set to take place at the Babayara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on October 3rd. Afoko is confident that his message of unity and rebuilding will resonate with delegates and ultimately lead to his election as National Chairman. He has been engaging with constituency executives and TESCON members, outlining his vision for the party's future and his plans to ensure its success.
Afoko's campaign tour and message have generated significant interest within the NPP. His emphasis on party unity and rebuilding has struck a chord with many delegates.
