The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Divine Otoo Agorhom, has openly acknowledged that the party’s poor performance in the 2024 general elections was a direct result of its failure to meet the expectations of Ghanaians.
Agorhom said the NPP’s defeat should not be sugar-coated.
“It’s not a good story to tell. I don’t like making excuses, but 2024 didn’t go well for the NPP,” he stated on Face to Face with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV on Tuesday, July 22,
“If you’re talking about losing seats, we lost seats in almost all the regions—even including the Almighty Ashanti Region. And we lost seats in the Central Region as well. Generally, the elections did not go well for us.”
According to him, the loss goes beyond regional seat counts—it reflects the broader sentiment that the NPP government underperformed in the eyes of the Ghanaian people.
“We were in government, and so, if the government’s performance met the aspirations of Ghanaians, they would have renewed our mandate,” he continued.
“It simply means that, for whatever reason, rightly or wrongly, the Ghanaian voter thinks that our performance did not meet their expectations. For that reason, they voted us out.”
