The recommendations contained in it are timely and necessary for the rejuvenation of our great party,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n<p>He further emphasised that the findings were the result of wide consultations with party grassroots, executives and stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting some of the key reform areas, the 2024 NPP flagbearer noted that the report proposes enhanced transparency in internal elections, improved communication structures, and stronger youth engagement. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we are to retain the confidence of Ghanaians and inspire a new generation of patriots, then we must be bold in implementing these reforms,\u201d Dr Bawumia added. <\/p>\n<p>He also assured the party faithful that the leadership would prioritise accountability and inclusiveness in the next phase of the NPP\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p>The Thank You Tour, according to Dr Bawumia, will offer an opportunity to connect with supporters and communicate the party\u2019s renewed vision. <\/p>\n<p>He concluded with a rallying call: \u201cLet us embrace the spirit of renewal. Let us stand together, united by our values, and move forward as one NPP \u2013 stronger and more determined than ever before.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The event was attended by several top party executives, regional chairpersons and youth leaders.<\/p>\n<p><b>Meanwhile, watch GhanaWeb&#8217;s tour of Odweanoma Paragliding Field below:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"_midZOCH7wE\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Where Adrenaline Meets Altitude: Paragliding the skies of Ghana | People&amp;Places\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_midZOCH7wE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2024 Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia The 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed optimism that the recommendations outlined in the Mike Oquaye report will usher in much-needed reforms within the party.
