In the aftermath of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the 2024 general elections, Hon. Robert Sarfo Mensah-Booba, former Member of Parliament for Asunafo North District, has called on party members to remain calm and united.

Speaking to a group of supporters and party executives, he urged the NPP to focus on rebuilding and positioning itself for a brighter future.

The NPP’s loss in the Ahafo Region has been a major talking point, with the party losing three out of its four parliamentary seats to the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This shift now gives the NDC five seats in the region, leaving the NPP with only one.

Hon. Sarfo Mensah-Booba attributed the defeat to several factors, including internal divisions and practices that undermined the party’s integrity.

“This is not the time for blame games,” he said. “Pointing fingers will only deepen our challenges. Instead, we must come together, reflect, and chart a new path forward for the NPP.”

The former MP highlighted the importance of addressing internal issues, particularly the practice of vote-buying during party primaries. He stressed that such practices weaken the party’s democratic foundation and alienate grassroots members.

“Delegates must resist the temptation to take money before voting for party executives. Our focus should be on choosing competent leaders who can steer the party to victory,” he emphasized. “We need free, fair, and transparent internal elections to restore confidence in our processes.”

Hon. Sarfo Mensah-Booba also called for a renewed commitment to unity among party members. He encouraged all stakeholders to put aside personal differences and work collaboratively to strengthen the party’s structures at all levels.

“The NPP has always been a party of vision and resilience. We’ve faced setbacks before and bounced back stronger. Let’s use this moment to learn from our mistakes and build a better future for our party and the country,” he stated.

In conclusion, the former MP expressed optimism about the NPP’s prospects, urging members to look forward to greater things. “We are a party with a legacy of delivering on our promises and transforming lives. Let’s not lose sight of that. Together, we can make the NPP great again.”

The call for unity and reform comes at a critical time for the NPP as it navigates the challenges of opposition. Party members and supporters are hopeful that the leadership will take these concerns to heart and work towards revitalizing the party for future victories.
