He said the NPP would offer the needed support to the new government in a very responsible way.

Dr Bawumia who made this known in a media briefing at his official residence in Cantonment in Accra this morning said the NPP would not be a disruptive opposition even though it would subject government actions and policies to strict scrutiny in the interest of the nation.

He was convinced that Members of Parliament (MPs) of the NPP would do a thorough job to advance the democracy of the country and ensure that the citizens got the best out of the democratic dispensation.

“We have conceded defeat like any consummate democrat will do but we have not abandoned the fact to transform Ghana and expand opportunities to all sections of our society,” he said, adding “To the rank and file of the NPP, I know the feeling hurts, given that this is not the result you worked for.”

“I know you will feel there is darkness ahead but that is natural, especially when in all sincerity you gave the assignment your all.”

The NPP flag bearer further assured the rank and file of the party that they would regroup and come back even stronger.

He thanked his campaign team for their effort and assured the President-elect John Dramani Mahama of his full support in the transition process.
