Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, has graciously acknowledged the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) loss in the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

In a statement issued following the announcement of the results, the NPP’s Vice Presidential candidate affirmed the party’s respect for the decision of the Ghanaian electorate and emphasised the need for introspection to strengthen the party for future endeavours.

“The 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections resulted in a victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This was not the outcome we, in the NPP, envisaged; but we respect the verdict of the Ghanaian people. To Ghanaians, we have heard you clearly and with humility we accept. We will work with you to get it right,” NAPO remarked.

He acknowledged the disappointment among NPP supporters and extended his gratitude for their unwavering dedication during the campaign.

Napo further reiterated the party’s commitment to drawing lessons from the electoral outcome.

“I am grateful to the Lord Almighty, the giver of life, for bringing me this far and for the honour of this opportunity given me to serve my Party and Ghana. I have had extensive discussions with our flag bearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to reflect on the outcome of the elections and, in good time, we shall reflect further as a political party on the causes of our 2024 election loss,” he noted.

NAPO revealed that preliminary discussions had already commenced within the party’s leadership to critically analyse the election results and address the factors that contributed to the NPP’s performance.
