Former Energy Minister and leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko, has characterized the party’s defeat in the 2024 elections as a critical moment for introspection and renewal.
In a statement released on Tuesday, December 10, Agyarko admitted the significance of the loss to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and stressed the importance of the NPP reflecting on its past actions to reconnect with its core principles.
“It is not every storm that comes to destroy. Some come to clear the path and its obstructive underbrush, and the quiet after the storm allow for the renewal and regeneration of spirit and form. The verdict of a justifiably angered nation has been visited upon us. We have heard it loud and clear. We have been duly chastened.
Now is the time for sober reflection.”
“Now is the time to smoothen ruffled feathers. Now is the time to assuage wounded sentiments across the length and breadth of our party and country. Now is the time to examine ourselves to see if indeed we are true and faithful to the tenets a. values of our tradition or have metamorphosed into an ugly shadow of what we ought to be.
“Yes, our present predicament is going to be very trying but clarifying, and we must and shall rise to the occasion of renewing our Party.”
Former President John Mahama has made a historic comeback to the Presidency after securing 6,328,397 votes representing 56.55% in the just-ended presidential elections.
The ruling New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia got 4,657,304 representing 41.61% in the elections. The NDC also secured the majority of seats in parliament with 180 seats confirmed so far.
