We must build a strong party machinery that can win the next general elections. If you win the party primary and fail the general elections, it is nothing. United we stand, divided we fall, so, let us unite the rank and file of the party to take up the mantle of leadership of the country in 2028,\u201d Dr Bawumia stated.<\/p>\n<p>In that regard, Dr Bawumia had invited former presidential aspirants of the NPP to join him in the nationwide thank you tour as a sign of unity.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Bawumia also debunked claims that he lost the 2024 general elections because of his religious faith as a Muslim, noting that all the research conducted to ascertain his loss ruled out religion and tribe as factors that caused his defeat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo religion or tribe is a factor for my defeat those saying I lost because am a Muslim is just propaganda,\u201d Dr Bawumia emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>He believed the party lost the 2024 polls because the Party supporters did not vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStatistics showed that 2.1 million of our supporters did not come out to vote for us while John Mahama increased his votes by 150,000,\u201dhe explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, our defeat is internal and re-building the party we need unity to win the next general elections,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Justin Koduah Frimpong, the General Secretary of NPP, on behalf of the Party executives, apologised to the rank and file of the party for its defeat in the 2024 polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re sorry for disappointing you,\u201d he said, and promised to implement all the recommendations in Professor Mike Oquaye\u2019s Fact-Finding Report to ensure victory in the next general elections.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Stephen Ayensu Ntim, the National Chairperson, NPP, urged the rank and file of the party to develop a \u201cnever say die\u201d attitude and remain resolute to re-capture power in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s encourage ourselves and behave as if nothing happened and fight hard to take up the mantle of leadership of the country in 2028,\u201d he assured the party supporters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Ghana<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
