The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has established an 11-member committee, chaired by former Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye, to investigate the party\u2019s loss in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
The committee has been given a three-month period to conduct its work and report back to the National Council.<\/p>\n
According to the party\u2019s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, the committee\u2019s terms of reference include reviewing the internal elections and campaign strategy, as well as identifying the challenges that led to the electoral defeat and proposing solutions.<\/p>\n
Former President John Dramani Mahama was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election, marking a remarkable return to office after a contentious race. The Electoral Commission (EC) announced on December 9 that Mahama secured 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55% of the valid votes cast.<\/p>\n
He defeated Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, his main rival from the NPP, who garnered 4,657,304 votes, or 41.61%.<\/p>\n
Mahama\u2019s victory also delivered a major win for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which clinched a majority in Parliament.<\/p>\n
Over 180 seats have already been confirmed for the NDC, including key constituencies previously held by the NPP, strengthening Mahama\u2019s mandate as he prepares to resume the presidency.<\/p>\n
