A Professor at the University of Ghana Business School, Kobby Mensah has welcomed the decision of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to set up a committee to investigate its heavy defeat in the 2024 general elections.
He expresses the view that the current executives of the party do not represent the brand of the NPP which was known to be a party of intellectual.
Speaking on the News Central on TV3 on Tuesday, December 24, he said the call to investigate the defeat “is a far-reaching decision.”
“It is a very good call in the right direction,” he stressed, adding that “they will have to reflect on their principles.”
The NPP has announced that it will form a committee in January 2025 to review the party’s performance in the 2024 general election.
Per the results as announced by the Electoral Commission (EC) on Monday, December 9, the candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama polled 6,328,397 votes representing 56.55% of the valid votes cast, defeating his primary rival, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who garnered 4,657,304 votes representing 41.61%.
Addressing a press conference at the party’s headquarters, National Chairman Stephen Ayesu Ntim the result was not what they expected.
“We were very hopeful and positive, and our aim was to secure an emphatic victory at the polls. And we went very hard at it. As a party, we put in our best efforts in the campaign. I commend all members of the various campaign teams of the party, from polling stations to the national level, who also put in their very best in the competition.
