We Are Not Broken As Party Despite Defeat - Afenyo Markin To NPP

Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin has called on supporters of the New Patriotic Party to unite behind a common purpose and reconnect with the party’s grassroots as it charts a new path forward. Speaking at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference on Saturday, July 19, at the University of Ghana Stadium in Accra, Afenyo-Markin emphasized the importance of unity, discipline, and a renewed sense of purpose within the party.

He said the NPP is not a broken party despite its defeat in the 2024 general election. He stressed the need for the party to rebrand itself with results and strong character, warning that internal divisions have been costly. Let’s move with one voice. We’re in a season that demands sober reflection and radical unity. This is a time to rebuild, reconnect with the grassroots, re-engage with the base and reconnect with Ghanaians with a bold new vision for the future. With unity, we become a force; unity doesn’t mean uniformity, but loyalty to a shared purpose.

We must rebrand ourselves with better results and strong character. We must rebuild together, anchored in our values that no individual is bigger than the NPP, and that belief must reflect our language, tone, strategy and posture towards one another. Internal discord, suspicions, and disunity have cost us. We made mistakes, but we’re not a broken party; we’re only a battle-tested party. We’re not a party of despair.

Let’s end hate campaigns. We must reclaim the spirit of unity, discipline and shared purpose. The National Delegates Conference brought together key party members from across the country as part of efforts to restructure and reposition the NPP ahead of the 2028 general elections.
