Speaking during the NPP’s National Delegates Conference on Saturday, July 19, he said that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is a failure.
He said that “The message is clear, the NDC is a failure, Ghana deserves better.”
Afenyo-Markin further said that the New Patriotic Party is not a broken party despite its defeat in the 2024 general election.
He says that with unity, the party will bounce back stronger. He said, “Let’s move with one voice. We’re in a season that demands sober reflection and radical unity.
“This is a time to rebuild, reconnect with the grassroots, re-engage with the base and reconnect with Ghanaians with a bold new vision for the future. With unity, we become a force; unity doesn’t mean uniformity, but loyalty to a shared purpose.
“We must rebrand ourselves with better results and strong character. We must rebuild together, anchored in our values that no individual is bigger than the NPP, and that belief must reflect our language, tone, strategy and posture towards one another. Internal discord, suspicions, and disunity have cost us.
“We made mistakes, but we’re not a broken party; we’re only a battle-tested party. We’re not a party of despair. Let’s end hate campaigns. We must reclaim the spirit of unity, discipline and shared purpose.”
The NPP is holding its National Delegates Conference today, Saturday, July 19, to consider and vote on over 50 consolidated motions.
The event, under the theme “Rebuilding Together with our Values,” is taking place at the University of Ghana Stadium in Accra.
Chairman of the Planning Committee, Joseph Osei Owusu, “In all, we have about a little over 50 motions. You may have one amendment, which will have about 50 proposed amendments.
“So what the motions are doing is to consolidate the various issues that come around, and the members will have to vote on those motions,” Osei Owusu explained.
He further revealed that the motions have been compiled into a booklet, which has already been previewed by the party’s National Executive Committee. The documents are expected to be distributed to delegates before the voting session begins.
“All of the motions will be considered. We believe that by 4 PM we should be done.”
