Accra, Jan.03, GNA – A 12-member Election Review Committee has been constituted by the National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to review its performance in the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
The Committee, chaired by former Speaker of Parliament Professor Mike Aaron Oquaye, has three months to work and make appropriate recommendations to enable the Party to bounce back stronger in future elections.
This was in a statement issued by Mr Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General-Secretary of the Party in Accra.
The Committee is expected to engage all party stakeholders and the public and submit a comprehensive report to the Council within three months.
The report would set the stage for the Party’s reflection, rebuilding, and restructuring efforts to bounce back stronger in future elections, the statement said.
It implored all stakeholders, particularly party executives, and the members of the Party to cooperate with the Review Committee to ensure a success.
Other members of the Committee were Prof. Yaa Nitamoah-Baidu, Prof. Kofi Osei Akuoko, Prof. Samuel Bert Boadi-Kusi, Dr Felix Yamoah, and Dr Joseph Agyapong Darmoe.
The rest were Dr F. F Anto, Mr Kwaku Domfe, Madam Gifty Kusi, Abdulai Abanga, Seidu Nasigri and Mr William Yamoah.
The NPP lost the 2024 presidential elections, with its flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia polling 41 per cent as against its main contender Mr John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress, who garnered 56 per cent of the total votes cast.
In the parliamentary elections, the opposition NDC has, so far, swept more than 180 seats in Parliament with the ruling NPP winning less than 90 seats.
