The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has extended an apology to Ghanaians for the party’s failings while in office.

During an address to residents and party supporters as part of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s “Thank You Tour” following the NPP’s loss in the 2024 elections, Mr. Kodua acknowledged the dissatisfaction many citizens felt.

He admitted the party had made mistakes and expressed remorse, saying, “To our supporters, to Ghanaians who were disappointed with us as a party, as a government because of certain inactions and actions of our party and our government, we have heard you and as a party, we have reflected on everything that happened during our general of Office.”

Mr. Kodua noted that while the NPP had made strides in policy and infrastructure, it had not fulfilled all expectations. “We know we did our best in terms of infrastructure, in terms of policies, but we didn't get everything right. So to everyone who hears us, who watches us, on behalf of the National Party, we want to say we are sorry for the disappointment that you have.”

Looking ahead to the 2028 elections, he promised that the party would correct its past mistakes if given another mandate. He stated, “But we can assure you that we have learnt our lessons and the restructuring that is going to happen in our party will make sure that the new Patriot party comes back on the right road and in 2028 when, by God's grace, you give us the mantle, all the wrongs that were made to be corrected for us to have a better government under the leadership of a flat barrier that we selected.”

The Thank You Tour, which is being led by Dr. Bawumia, the party’s 2024 flagbearer and outgoing Vice President, is aimed at showing appreciation to the grassroots and reconnecting with the base. Mr. Kodua further assured Ghanaians that the NPP is undertaking an internal review to present a stronger and more accountable governance platform in the years to come.
