The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has confirmed that the committee investigating the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections will complete its work by the end of March 2025.
In the 2024 election, President John Dramani Mahama defeated NPP’s Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to return to the presidency. Additionally, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) won a parliamentary majority, unseating several NPP Members of Parliament.
Speaking in an interview on Eyewitness News, Salam Mustapha emphasized that the committee’s findings will be crucial in shaping the NPP’s strategy to reclaim power in 2028.
“The party commissioned the Aaron Mike Oquaye Committee to review the [2024] elections. In fact, in 2020, even though we won, we still commissioned the Yaw Osafo-Marfo Committee to look into the performance of the party in the 2020 elections and they did quite a very good job and so we are waiting for the Aaron Mike Oquaye Committee to wrap up their work.”
He further explained, “I have appeared before the committee together with my other colleagues, national executives, and they have gone across the 16 regions, and the 276 constituencies. So it is a process still ongoing and it is part of the reawakening process as we gear towards rebuilding the party and reorganising the party for the 2028 elections, and they should finish their work by March 31.”
The committee’s report is expected to provide insights into the party’s electoral performance and recommend strategies for a stronger comeback in the next election cycle.
