The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has revised its constitution following the party’s miserable 2024 election defeat.
According to the NPP, the amended constitution is to address the factors that contributed to the party’s loss.
The General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, attributed the party’s defeat to member neglect and a breakdown in communication strategy.
Speaking at the launch of the amended constitution on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, Justin Kodua Frimpong stated, “Many of the issues that culminated in our loss in the 2024 election have been addressed in this amendment”.
We all know that one of the reasons why we did not get the needed vote to win the election was voter apathy, and it also stemmed from the fact that there were several former party executives who felt that they were neglected.
“But in our current constitution, we have expanded our electoral college to make room for our former executives at the district level and the national level to have a voting right. All of these are to address the issue of apathy in our party.”
He added, “Another reason why we lost is that many people criticised our party’s communication. We had done so much, but we were not communicating them, and there was no coordination among the various communication directors”.
Justin Kodua added that the amendments reflect lessons learned from the 2024 elections and aim at strengthening the party structures.
Meanwhile, Justin Kodua Frimpong made a bold declaration some months ago even before the party elects its presidential candidate for the 2028 elections.
According to Justin Kodua, the NPP come December 2028 will surely return to power.
He highlighted that the NPP will work out all their differences before the 2028 elections.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, boldly delcared, “We have more than two years to preach to Ghanaians, our record, to preach to Ghanaians what the NPP stand for, and I can assure you, issues of apathy, issues of reconciliation, all will be addressed, and InshaAllah, come December 7, 2028, the NPP will surely come back to power”.
In related NPP news, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the minority Leader in Parliament, has begged all NPP members to put their anger against the former Akufo-Addo government aside and work together to win power in 2028.
According to Afenyo-Markin, the NPP can take inspiration from the NDC, as no one thought President Mahama could ever become president again, adding that political comebacks are possible when the party members are united.
Afenyo-Markin noted that when the NDC was in disarray, it took Asiedu Nketiah, the Ahwois and others to put the NDC together, so there is hope for the NPP.
Speaking in an interview on Peace FM on November 28, 2025, Afenyo-Markin stated, “Whoever thought John Mahama could be president again? Let us face the facts, it took Asiedu Nketiah to charge through the storm after Mahama lost by over one million votes in the 2016 elections. When the NDC was in disarray, when they had nobody, it took Asiedu Nketiah to put the party together”.
“NPP, don’t be sad. There is hope. Let us work together, and we can take inspiration from the NDC and win power”.
He added, “Look, I am pleading with every NPP member: even if the government was not fair to you, put all your anger somewhere and let us work together to win”.
“It took Asiedu Nketiah, the Ahwois and others to put the NDC together. So, NPP, there is hope.”
