Former Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye, has been appointed to chair an 11-member committee tasked with investigating the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) loss in the 2024 elections.
The committee, which has been given three months to complete its work, will focus on evaluating the party’s internal elections, campaign strategies, and the challenges that contributed to the electoral defeat.
The committee is expected to propose actionable solutions for future elections.
According to NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, the committee’s objective is to conduct a thorough review and provide recommendations to strengthen the party’s operations.
The loss in the 2024 elections saw former President John Dramani Mahama secure a win, with 6,328,397 votes (56.55%), defeating NPP’s Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who received 4,657,304 votes (41.61%).
Mahama’s victory was not only a personal political comeback but also a significant triumph for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which gained a majority in Parliament.
With more than 180 seats confirmed, including several previously held by the NPP, Mahama’s mandate has been bolstered ahead of his presidential return.
