Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has rallied members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to regroup and prepare for a strong comeback ahead of the 2028 general election.
Speaking during a courtesy call by a delegation of constituency organisers from the Greater Accra Region, led by a prominent party figure and Greater Accra Regional Organiser of the NPP, Prince Obeng, the former president acknowledged the party’s recent electoral defeat but called for renewed unity and purpose.
“Political parties win or lose elections. Yes, we have lost an election. But I know we can come back,” Akufo-Addo said during a meeting with NPP constituency organisers from the Greater Accra Region.
“We should stop feeling sorry for ourselves. Let’s pick ourselves up, reorganise, and go forward as one”, the former president was quoted by Obeng as saying.
“We should behave like we believe we can win back the trust of the people for 2028″, Akufo-Addo added.
The visit formed part of internal consultations ahead of proposed constitutional amendments in the party, with the delegation pushing for a clearer definition of the role of constituency organisers in the NPP’s constitution. The group appealed to the former president to champion the cause.
During the meeting, the organisers also expressed concerns about what they described as attempts by the current government to interfere with the judiciary—alleging a plot to suspend or remove the Chief Justice, a move they fear could erode constitutional safeguards, including presidential term limits.
While Akufo-Addo did not publicly address the claims, his broader message focused on party cohesion and the path toward political recovery.
His remarks were described as “profound and inspiring” by members of the delegation.
The visit comes at a time of reflection for the NPP, as the party strategises its future following a defeat in the last general elections.
