Member of Parliament for Effiduase Asokore, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye, has urged the leadership of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to make public the party’s internal report on its defeat in the 2024 general elections.
The report, compiled by a committee chaired by former Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Oquaye, was intended to assess the party’s performance and identify reasons for its loss in the 2024 elections.
However, the NPP’s Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, has stated that the report will remain confidential and used strictly for internal purposes.
Speaking on Channel One TV, Dr. Ayew Afriye disagreed with the party’s decision to keep the findings private.
He argued that releasing the report would foster transparency and help the party rebuild trust with its members and the public.
“The National [leadership] is saying that we don’t want people to know how it went so that we can correct it and not get ridiculed in public. I disagree with the stance of the National [leadership]. I believe that it should be out. Heal the people. You have lost an election, and be teased, let them use it against you. Ghanaians understand that—they will heal from that.”Ghanaian food recipes
He emphasised that acknowledging the loss openly would allow the party to refocus and build credibility.
“Get into why you lost, and in two to three years, they will focus on what you’re doing that is better, regardless of how your opponents will ridicule you,” he urged.
Dr. Ayew Afriye also pointed to internal dissatisfaction as a factor in the defeat, stating, “Another research shows that about 20% to 25% of your people voted for the NDC, and some didn’t vote at all.”
