NPP’s path to victory lies in unity – Boakye Antwi
New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary aspirant Eugene Boakye Antwi says the party’s path back to power in 2028 depends largely on unity among its members and leaders.
Eugene Boakye Antwi, the General Secretary aspirant for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has emphasized that the party's path to victory in the 2028 elections hinges largely on unity among its members and leaders. Speaking on JoyNews AM Show on September 25, Mr Antwi stated that the NPP's recent electoral setbacks, notably their defeat in the 2024 general elections, were largely due to internal divisions and weaknesses in the party's organization.
Antwi drew attention to the NPP's historical successes, which he linked to periods of unity. He noted that the party enjoyed strong performances in the 2000 and 2016 general elections under the leadership of John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo, respectively. In contrast, he pointed to the party's defeats in 2008 and 2024, attributing these losses to internal discord within the organization.
The General Secretary aspirant warned that without unity, the NPP risks repeating the "abysmal defeat" it experienced in 2024. He pledged to provide direct financial support to constituencies to keep them active between elections, asserting that such support is crucial for the party's opposition role. Antwi argued that maintaining constituency structures throughout the electoral cycle, not just in the lead-up to elections, is essential.
He emphasized that a strong relationship between the party's leadership and its grassroots structures, coupled with improved organization and adequate funding for constituencies, would enable the NPP to rebuild its support base and pursue its goal of regaining government in 2028.
