NPP National Youth Organiser, Salam Mustapha
National Youth Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, believes that the party sabotaged itself in the 2024 election.
According to him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was clearly not the problem; rather, the NPP was its own worst enemy.
Salam Mustapha attributes the party’s defeat to a lack of unity, internal wrangling, and other internal issues.
“During the campaign for the elections, I stated almost everywhere I went that the NDC was not the problem of the NPP—that the problem of the NPP was the NPP itself—and that if we didn’t unite, we would not win. It remains a statement of fact today.
If all the 2.1 million people who didn’t vote in the last election had done so, we wouldn’t be where we are today. It was the lack of unity and the apathy that affected us, and now here we are. I want to implore all of you to remember that the party belongs to all of us, not just a select few. It is not for only my regional youth organizers; it is for every member of the party. Let us come on board, hold hands together, and move forward on a level playing field for everyone,” he said.
He used the opportunity to call on all party members to come together and work collectively to regain power.
