The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has issued a public apology on behalf of the party, acknowledging past governance shortcomings and pledging that the NPP will not repeat the mistakes of its previous administration if given another opportunity by the Ghanaian people.
Speaking candidly about the party’s performance in office , Kodua admitted that while the NPP made significant efforts during its time in government, it fell short in some areas.
“As a political party, certainly we did our best, but we couldn’t have gotten everything right,” he said. “And I have always said that on behalf of our then government, our political party — certain things that we could not do right — we apologise for it.”
The NPP, which lost the 2024 general elections after eight years in power, has been undergoing a period of introspection and restructuring.
Kodua emphasised the party’s readiness to learn from its past and grow stronger. “As a party, we are always ready to learn and make sure that when we come back to power, the good things that we did we will build on. And those mistakes that we made — we will not repeat those mistakes.”
His comments come as the party gears up for its next phase of political reorganisation, with the presidential primaries set for January 31, 2026, and a major constitutional reform expected to be adopted at the National Delegates Conference in July 2025. The NPP leadership has insisted that the party is focused on internal restructuring as a foundation for winning back public trust.
