The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary says it is rebuilding with “renewed seriousness” ahead of the 2028 elections, stressing that internal reforms underway show the NPP has learnt lessons from its 2024 defeat.
Speaking during his 43rd birthday celebration, where he donated food and supplies to inmates at the Missionaries of Charity Sisters home in Ashanti New Town, Kumasi, Kodua said charitable outreach has been his way of expressing gratitude.
“It’s something I’ve been doing for decades,” he said. “Every year when the Lord blesses me with life, I visit places where people are in distress to show appreciation for what God has done for me. It is by grace, and I just give thanks.”
Internal contest
Turning to politics, he said the NPP’s recent constitutional amendments and its decision to hold internal presidential primaries signal a party preparing to return to power.
“There is hope for the party,” he said. “If you monitor how we have begun the reorganisation after our painful defeat, it tells you we mean business.”
Caution
Kodua warned that as the presidential contest advances, tensions and provocative statements are inevitable, but said the party’s disciplinary structures will be used where necessary.
“People can go wayward and make unfounded allegations—it’s part of politics,” he said.
“But after 31 January, there will be no competition. We will have one flagbearer, one party, and we will move together in the spirit of reconciliation to fight the 2028 battle.”
The NPP is expected to complete its internal reorganisation early next year as it prepares to challenge President John Mahama’s administration in the next general election.
