The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua has said he is in a difficult period of his leadership.
This according to him stems from their defeat in the 2024 election as a ruling party.
In an interview on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen, JFK as he is popularly known disclosed he was dealing with a lot due to the electoral outcome.
But amidst his struggles, he looks up to God as he still cannot understand why the NPP lost and are yet to come to terms with it.
“As a party that lost an election, you are dealing with a lot psychologically, people saying all sort of things, the proposals and all reactions coming in is a lot but it is the works of God and He is the only one who understands and knows why things turned out this way,” he stated.
Mr Kodua noted he recognises and shares in the pain of the party supporters.
However, it was about time the party reflect on their defeat and learn lessons that will shape and guide them, leading to the 2028 election.
The NPP government failed in its bid for a third consecutive term in the December 7, 2024, general election.
The main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) secured a decisive victory, giving former president John Mahama a return to the presidency.
The party has since set up a committee to conduct a thorough post-mortem analysis of the party’s defeat in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
The committee would engage with party stakeholders and the general public to identify the factors and circumstances that led to the loss.
It will also examine the need for constitutional amendments and restructuring of the party’s internal decision-making processes, particularly regarding the election of presidential and parliamentary candidates, as well as party executives.
