  "account": "Boakye Kyeremanteng Agyarko, the National Chairman hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has blamed the party's loss in the 2024 general election on disheartened grassroots supporters and insufficient preparation. During an interview on Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen programme on Monday, August 31, Agyarko highlighted the pervasive sense of demoralisation within the party as a major factor contributing to their electoral setback. He explained that the lack of motivation and inadequate preparation left the NPP unable to effectively mobilise its base and execute a robust campaign. Agyarko, who is vying for the role of party leader, acknowledged that his primary goal would be to restore confidence and dedication among the grassroots supporters heading into the 2028 general election. He assured his commitment to unify and fortify the party, while also offering his support to the party's presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in his pursuit of regaining power. \"I will do everything possible to help Dr Bawumia win power in 2028,\" Agyarko affirmed.",
  "summary": "New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman hopeful, Boakye Kyeremanteng Agyarko, has attributed the party’s defeat in the 2024 general election partly to inadequate preparation and a lack of motivation among its grassroots supporters.",
