He revealed that approximately two million party supporters abstained from voting on December 7, 2024, marking the NPP\u2019s worst electoral outcome in Ghana\u2019s Fourth Republic.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a meeting at his Accra residence on December 23, 2024, Dr. Bawumia expressed astonishment at the scale of the voter turnout deficit. <\/p>\n
The gathering included committee chairpersons, vice chairpersons, and members involved in the election campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was as if our people held a meeting across the country and decided they won\u2019t go out to vote,\u201d Dr. Bawumia remarked, reflecting on the lack of enthusiasm among NPP supporters despite the party\u2019s comprehensive policy proposals.<\/p>\n
The Vice President acknowledged the tireless efforts of the manifesto committee, commending their work in crafting a detailed policy document for the election. <\/p>\n
He encouraged them not to view their efforts as wasted, emphasizing the value of their work for the future. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want to express sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of you for your dedication and hard work towards putting together such a comprehensive document, which we presented to Ghanaians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dr. Bawumia emphasized the need for the party to conduct an in-depth analysis of the election outcome to identify the reasons behind the widespread voter apathy. <\/p>\n
He assured members that comprehensive research would be conducted as part of a broader reorganization process.<\/p>\n
Despite the setback, Dr. Bawumia maintained optimism about the future, urging the manifesto committee members to remain steadfast. \u201cGod willing, we will all benefit from this document in the future,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n
The meeting also included Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, chairperson of the Manifesto Committee, who joined in evaluating the party\u2019s performance and charting the path forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
