Minority Leader and Effutu MP, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) not to be broken by its defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Addressing the National Delegates Conference in Accra on Saturday, he urged party members to rekindle their commitment and work tirelessly to reclaim power in the 2028 polls.
“We cannot, we must not allow 2024 to become the year that destroys the NPP,” he said.
Acknowledging the disappointment following the outcome of the election, he emphasised the need for unity and renewed energy going forward.
“We must become a party of Ghana, talking to Ghana. Our constituency executives must master every polling station, our polling station chairpersons must know every voter, our electoral area coordinators must understand every community’s dream.
“We cannot rebrand ourselves through better slogans; we must rebrand ourselves through better results and strong character,” he added.
The NPP lost both the presidency and parliamentary elections in 2024.
The party lost the majority of its parliamentary seats to the NDC and now has 87 seats following the death of Akwatia MP, Ernest Yaw Kumi.
However, Afenyo-Markin has encouraged that the electoral loss must inspire the party to pursue strategic rebuilding.
He admonished party structures at all levels to remain active and forward-looking with the aim of winning the 2028 polls.
