Former Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has officially declared her intention to contest the General Secretary position of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
She made the announcement on her Facebook page on Monday, October 20, coinciding with her birthday, calling on party supporters across the country to rally behind her bid to revive and reorganise the NPP ahead of the 2028 general elections.
“Dearest Patriots, I come to you on this day of my birth with genuine regards. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since our stormy face-off with ourselves and our base. We came out bruised, our individual and collective egos battered. We lie not in a good place. However, as our great tradition had demonstrated over the years… we will thrive,” she wrote.
Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful urged members of the party to remain hopeful, stressing that the NPP’s current challenges were part of a necessary phase of self-reflection and renewal.
“Scathed, we refuse to be burnt, and in the unlikely circumstance that we set ourselves in a blazing inferno… we will rise. It will shape us, mould us, and like the Phoenix, we will rise and be ready,” she added.
The former Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West also took a swipe at the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), describing it as a “caretaker government” that rode to power on deceit and unfulfilled promises.
