General Secretary aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Eugene Boakye Antwi, has admitted that the party’s defeat in the 2024 general election was the result of growing dissatisfaction among its grassroots.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Thursday, September 11, the former Subin MP said many party loyalists felt disconnected from the leadership.
“I think we have lost because too many of our own people felt that we had drifted away from them,” he stated. “When your base is crying for jobs and clamouring for humility, sometimes it appeared that we weren’t listening. That created a whole lot of problems for the government as well as the party.”
He further noted that while supporters often expected quick solutions once the NPP was in government, governance did not work that way.
“Because when a party is in government, the expectation is such that you think that by a stroke of a pen, or a mere phone call, things should happen. But knowingly, things don’t happen like that,” he explained.
