The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has issued a formal apology on behalf of the party, acknowledging governance lapses during its previous time in office and assuring Ghanaians of a renewed approach if entrusted with leadership again.
Speaking openly about the party’s past performance, Kodua admitted that while the NPP pursued key developmental goals during its tenure, some missteps occurred along the way.
“As a political party, certainly we did our best, but we couldn’t have gotten everything right,” he said. “And I have always said that on behalf of our then government, our political party certain things that we could not do right, we apologise for it.”
The NPP, which exited government after the 2024 general elections, has since entered a period of deep reflection and restructuring. Kodua underlined the party’s determination to emerge from this phase with a refined vision and stronger governance ethic.
“As a party, we are always ready to learn and make sure that when we come back to power, the good things that we did we will build on. And those mistakes that we made — we will not repeat those mistakes,” he stated.
The apology comes at a pivotal moment as the party prepares for its next internal elections, with presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026, and a new constitutional roadmap expected at the National Delegates Conference in July 2025.
The leadership has stressed that ongoing internal reforms are crucial to regaining public confidence and presenting a credible option to the Ghanaian electorate.
