2024 General Election: Stop Blaming Others; We Caused Our Own Defeat – Sir John To NPP

The Constituency Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Atwima Nwabiagya South, Mr. John Kwame Duodu, popularly known as Sir John has urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to take responsibility for their actions and inactions ahead of the just concluded 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections and stop blaming others for the abysmal performance of the Party..

According to the Ashanti Regional TESCON Patron, the NPP’s failure in the 2024 General Election was as a result of their own mistakes and that it is about time the Party did candid self-introspection and correced their wrongs ahead of the 2028 elections.

Sir John’s comments come in the wake of the post-election blame games and finger-pointing going on among the rank and file the New Patrioti Party.

He emphasized that it is important for the entire hierarchy of the NPP, especially leaders who were entrusted with positions in the erstwhile Nana Akuffo Addo and Bawumia government to acknowledge their shortcomings and work towards redemption rather than shifting the blame onto others.

His statement is a call to action for the Party to engage in a holistic soul-searching and rectification of their mistakes in order to move forward in unity devoid of tendencies that have the potential to cause disunity and more harm to the Party.

As the NPP begins to pick up the pieces and plan for the future, Sir John reminds all Party faithful that true growth and progress can only be achieved by acknowledging and learning from the Party’s past mistakes.

 

Caution against Early Declarations

The vociferous NPP leader also strongly criticized Party members who have begun declaring their intentions to run for various national, regional and constituency positions at this early moment the Party’s wounds are still fresh.

‘It’s premature for these Party leaders who ought to know better to be concerned with the positions they envisage to occupy in the upcoming internal elections instead of helping the healing and reorganization process in the aftermath of the Party’s unprecedented defeat’, Sir John opined.

Sir John intimated further that the Party needs to focus and reflect on the painful defeat, reassess its strategies and rebuild the Party’s structures before going into next internal elections.

He stated that rushing into the impending leadership contests without properly addressing the issues that led to the Party’s defeat in 2024 would certainly be counter-productive.and may yet again spell doom for the Party in 2028.

Sir John applauded the establishment of the regional reconciliation committees to address the post-election issues and promote unity within the Party.

He stressed that the move is a sure way by which the Party can address the internal rivalries and wranglings and help in maintaining cohesion and unity among the rank and file.
