  "account": "The recently inaugurated Regional Executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana's Oti Region have expressed their determination to support party leader Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming 2028 presidential election. In addition, they have vowed to reinforce the party's foundation in the region and devise tactics to secure parliamentary seats in the 2028 general election, following the party's lack of success in Oti during the 2024 elections. Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) following a meeting with the newly formed Regional Executive Committee, Regional Chairman Dr Frank Yirenkyi emphasized the administration's commitment to rebuilding and fortifying the party from the grassroots level to the constituency level. He stated that the leadership would interact with party members in all constituencies, identify issues affecting the party, and collaborate to resolve them in preparation for the 2028 elections. While declining to specify the number of parliamentary seats NPP aims for, Dr Yirenkyi mentioned that the new administration had only recently assumed office and would conduct consultations before formulating a strategic plan. The party's primary focus, according to the Chairman, is to enhance internal structures, improve coordination among constituencies, and mobilize members and supporters for a unified goal. Addressing potential divisions arising from the recent regional elections, Dr Yirenkyi highlighted that the elections were conducted peacefully and without significant complaints. He assured that he had reached out to other party stakeholders to foster unity, reconciliation, and cooperation among members, asserting that unity would be crucial for the party's chances in the 2028 elections. The newly appointed executives convened their inaugural meeting, during which members engaged in cordial discussions and showcased their dedication to working together for the party's benefit. Dr Yirenkyi reiterated his commitment to promoting unity and inclusiveness within the NPP, emphasizing that the party could only achieve its political goals through collective effort and effective collaboration. He appealed to party members, supporters, and sympathizers to remain united, disciplined, and committed as the party intensifies preparations for the 2028 presidential and parliamentary elections. Dr Yirenkyi also pledged that the Regional Executive Committee would continue engaging stakeholders and grassroots members to build a stronger, more cohesive, and competitive party capable of reclaiming parliamentary representation in the region and aiding Dr Bawumia's presidential campaign in 2028.",
