Why NPP Lost 2024 Election: General Secretary Opens Up On Mike Oquaye Report

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Justin Frimpong Kodua, has slightly opened the lid on the Mike Oquaye committee report which investigated reasons for the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 elections.

Addressing NPP stakeholders at various meetings in Western Region on the opening day of the party’s “Thank You Tour” led by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Justin Frimpong Kodua told the party stakeholders that details of the report will not be made public for “strategic reasons” but in order to successfully implement recommendations of the committee, it’s important for party stakeholders, to know certain aspects, especially some reasons why they lost the 2024 elections.

Key among the reasons, the General Secretary noted, were the actions and inactions of the government with regard to certain key issues.

Among the issues that he pointed out were the government’s failure to prioritise key projects in the party’s strongholds, poor relationship between the government and party, arrogance of power, internal bickering among others.

The audience, who had shared these views with the Prof. Oquaye committee, were in complete agreement as the NPP General Secretary listed these factors resulting in their defeat which the committee highlighted.

Justin Frimpong Kodua stressed the need for the party to implement the committee recommendations, adding that a constitutional review committee has been set up.

He urged members of the party to submit their proposals to the committee.
