General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Justin Kodua Frimpong, says the party is still feeling the pain of its defeat in the December 7, 2024 general elections but insists the setback does not define the NPP.

In a New Year message, Kodua Frimpong admitted that the scars of the loss remain fresh, describing the past year as one filled with heavy trials.

However, he maintained that the party remains resilient, stressing that its identity is rooted in enduring values, an unyielding spirit, and commitment to Ghana, not a single electoral outcome.

He said the NPP has faced difficult moments in the past and emerged stronger through unity, noting that the current period is no different. According to him, the party has already begun taking decisive steps to correct structural weaknesses exposed by the defeat and to improve its future electoral prospects.

Kodua revealed that the NPP has embarked on internal reforms, including constitutional amendments, the establishment of a training and research centre known as the Patriotic Institute, and the reactivation of its membership payment platform. He said these measures are aimed at rebuilding a stronger and more competitive party.

Looking ahead, the General Secretary said the party will undertake key activities this year, including the presidential primary, elections of party officers at all levels, and a reconciliation and unity drive. He assured members that all internal elections will be conducted in a free, fair, and transparent manner.
