Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has urged supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to refrain from blaming one another for the party’s defeat, warning that such actions could further undermine party unity.

During a meeting with party executives from the Klottey Korley constituency, Dr. Bawumia pointed to voter apathy as the key factor behind the party’s loss.

He emphasised that, upon analysing the election results, it became clear that the NPP inadvertently handed power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) rather than the opposition party outperforming their 2020 results.

“We couldn’t meet our expectations that is why we conceded. That doesn’t mean it is over. We lost a battle, not the war. I want to encourage you all. In this election, we were the ones that gave the victory to NDC. They didn’t win because their numbers didn’t change from 2020.

“Ours reduced by 40 percent. I want you all to understand that united we stand, but divided we fall. I have seen many people in pain, but I have an abiding belief in God. His ways are not our ways.

“Blame games will destroy us. Let us stand together. Stop the blame games. Let’s look at the future. Let’s concentrate on strengthening the party. It is not about individual ambition. I know we will come out successful.”
