Following the party’s loss in the general elections of 2024, Stephen Ntim, the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged supporters and members of the party to stay strong and committed.
On Monday, December 23, 2024, Mr. Ntim spoke at a press conference at the NPP Headquarters in Asylum Down. He called the situation difficult but reiterated the party’s resolve to bounce back stronger.
“Indeed, this is a difficult time for us as a party, but we are a resilient people. We must, and we will rise again from this defeat. We are reorganizing ourselves for the battles of tomorrow,” Mr. Ntim said.
The National Chairman encouraged the party faithful not to lose hope, urging them to actively participate in the restructuring process.
“Fellow Party Members, this means we cannot give up. We must engage in the restructuring process with all the energy we can muster to get the elephant trumpeting again. Kukrudu!!! Kukrudu!!! Kukruuuuduuu!!!” he exclaimed.
Mr. Ntim lauded the dedication of the NPP leadership, campaign teams, and grassroots members, noting their relentless work in the lead-up to the elections.
“Our aim was to secure an emphatic victory, and we worked very hard at it,” he stated.
“As a party, we put in our best efforts during the campaign.”
He thanked all party members and supporters for their dedication and hard work, as well as the campaign staff at every level, from the polling station to the national level.
Mr. Ntim told members that the party is still dedicated to its goal of a better Ghana, even as he acknowledged the disappointment caused by the election results.
Without a question, the elections did not turn out the way we had hoped.
In our fight for a better Ghana, molded by the principles and beliefs of the NPP, we may not have prevailed, but we haven’t lost the war either,” he declared.
He sympathized with the members’ and supporters’ anger and understood the agony they were feeling.
Mr. Ntim urged togetherness and underlined the significance of taking lessons from the loss and turning it into a springboard for rebuilding and restructuring.
“We must not let this defeat discourage us. Instead, it should galvanize us to work harder, correct our mistakes, and ensure that the NPP regains its footing as the party of choice for Ghanaians,” Mr Ntim added.
