The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has revised its party constitution to establish a strategic framework aimed at addressing factors that contributed to its loss in the 2024 General Elections.

At the launch of the amended constitution on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong highlighted member neglect and a breakdown in communication strategy as key reasons behind the party’s defeat.

“Many of the issues that culminated in our loss in the 2024 election have been addressed in this amendment,” he said, noting that voter apathy and dissatisfaction among former party executives significantly influenced the outcome.

To tackle these challenges, the NPP has expanded its electoral college, granting former executives at both district and national levels voting rights.

“We all know that one of the reasons why we did not get the needed vote to win the election was voter apathy, and it also stemmed from the fact that there were several former party executives who felt that they were neglected.

“But in our current constitution, we have expanded our electoral college to make room for our former executives at the district level and the national level to have a voting right. All of these are to address the issue of apathy in our party.”

Kodua also acknowledged criticism of the party’s communication strategy, noting that despite numerous achievements, a lack of coordination among communication directors hampered effective messaging.

“Another reason why we lost is that many people criticised our party’s communication. We had done so much, but we were not communicating them, and there was no coordination among the various communication directors,” he added.

The General Secretary emphasised that the amendments reflect lessons learned from the 2024 elections and are intended to strengthen party structures, engagement, and messaging ahead of future electoral contests.
