Accra, Dec. 19, GNA \u2013 A pressure group belonging to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called for the dissolution of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, following the party\u2019s defeat in the 2024 general election.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe defeat of the NPP in the 2024 elections marks one of the darkest moments in the history of our party\u2026In light of this monumental failure, we demand the immediate resignation of the current leadership, including all campaign heads.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
At a press conference in Accra on Thursday, Mr Gbande Nabin Yussif, Convener of the group, blamed the party leadership for failing to \u201cdevelop and implement a winning strategy\u201d in the December 7 polls.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Concerned Patriots of Change of the NPP proposed the establishment of an interim committee to manage the party\u2019s affairs until congress was held to elect new leaders \u201ccapable of charting a fresh course\u201d for the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He cited poor planning, disorganisation, and lack of accountability by NEC as some factors of the \u201ccrushing defeat\u201d on Election Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir abdication of responsibility has undermined the trust of party members and the Ghanaian electorate,\u201d the Convener stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Concerned Patriots of Change also called for \u201ca comprehensive and independent investigation\u201d into the root causes of this defeat and demanded answers to allegations of mismanagement of campaign funds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKey party stalwarts, who could have provided invaluable counsel and leadership, were marginalised during critical moments\u2026Leadership exhibited incompetence, inexperience, and a blatant disregard for the concerns of the rank and-file.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe demand that the findings of this investigation be made public to ensure transparency. accountability, and trust restoration\u2026only then can the Party\u2019s integrity begin to heal.\u201d Mr Gbande noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The group pushed for the reinstatement of dismissed and suspended members of the Party to ensure \u201cfull participation in party activities.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
It also wants a reconciliation committee to be established to facilitate dialogue and restore trust between leadership and grassroots members.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe time for healing is now. Our strength lies in our unity, and we cannot afford to remain divided\u2026We strongly call on the National Council of Elders and National Executive Committee to urgently draft a timeline for internal elections to replace the failed leadership.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAllowing the same individuals responsible for this crisis to remain in charge is akin to compounding the problem\u2026New leaders will bring fresh perspectives, renewed energy, and the commitment needed to prepare for the next election cycle,\u201d the group said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to other proposals, the Mr Gbande said a review of the NPP\u2019s constitution would \u201caddress systemic flaws that hinder progress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said the reforms should include reintroduction of the \u2018card system\u2019 to maintain an accurate database of members to ensure transparency and accountability.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExpansion of the Electoral College will allow all card-bearing members to vote in the election of executives. This reform will curb monetization and empower grassroots participation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe call on the National Council, Council of Elders and all stakeholders to seize this moment to restructure and rebuild our party together\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us take the bold and necessary steps to reclaim the trust of Ghanaians and restore the NPP to its rightful place as the beacon of progress and prosperity,\u201d he stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
