Re-elected New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua has vowed to work closely with the party's newly elected national executives to strengthen the party and secure victory in the 2028 general elections. Speaking to JoyNews after retaining his position at the NPP's National Delegates Conference in Kumasi, Mr Kodua emphasized the importance of teamwork and discipline in the party's future success. He expressed his commitment to working hard with the newly elected executives to achieve the party's goals. Mr Kodua's re-election gives him another term as the party's General Secretary as the NPP seeks to reorganise its structures and strengthen internal collaboration ahead of the 2028 polls.
According to Mr Kodua, the party's main expectation of its national executives is to work collectively towards winning the 2028 elections. He assured that the party will work towards achieving this goal, saying "The only thing the party expects from us is to win the elections in 2028; I can assure you we will work towards it." Mr Kodua also expressed appreciation to party members for the confidence reposed in him, citing his engagements with delegates across the 16 regions as a strong indication of their support.
Mr Kodua stated that his re-election was not a closely contested affair, with reports from his polling agents suggesting that the outcome was more akin to an acclamation. He said the feedback from party delegates across the regions was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their confidence in his ability to lead the party. This, he said, was a testament to the hard work he has done for the party.
The re-elected General Secretary also expressed confidence in the NPP's electoral prospects, saying he looks forward to supporting the party's efforts to elect its flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as President. He emphasized the importance of teamwork and discipline in achieving this goal, saying that these values will be central to his next term in office.
Mr Kodua's re-election is seen as a significant boost to the NPP's efforts to reorganise its structures and strengthen internal collaboration ahead of the 2028 polls. The party is seeking to build on its past successes and create a united front ahead of the next general elections. With Mr Kodua at the helm, the party is expected to intensify its campaign efforts and engage with voters across the country.
The NPP's National Delegates Conference in Kumasi saw the election of new national executives, including Vice Chairmen Kojo Bamba, Henry Nana Boakye, and Nana Akomea. Other key positions, including National Women's Organiser and National Organiser, were also filled. The newly elected executives are expected to work closely with Mr Kodua to drive the party's agenda and achieve its goals.
As the NPP looks to the 2028 general elections, the party faces significant challenges, including a highly competitive electoral landscape. However, with a united front and a clear strategy, the party is confident of achieving victory. Mr Kodua's re-election and commitment to teamwork and discipline are seen as key factors in the party's success.
