The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has publicly acknowledged the party’s shortcomings during its tenure in government, offering an unreserved apology to the Ghanaian people.

He assured the electorate that if granted another opportunity to lead, the NPP would not repeat the errors of its previous administration.

In an interview on Channel One TV on Wednesday, 19 June, Mr Kodua admitted that although the NPP had made notable strides during its time in office, it had also fallen short in some key areas.

He emphasised that the party was not blind to its past failings and took full responsibility for them.

“As a political party, certainly we did our best, but we couldn’t have gotten everything right,” he stated. “And I have always said that on behalf of our then government, our political party, certain things that we could not do right, we apologise for it.”

The NPP, which was voted out of power in the 2024 general elections after serving two terms, has since embarked on a process of self-reflection and internal reform.

According to Mr Kodua, this period has provided the party with an opportunity to assess its governance record and prepare for a more effective return.

He concluded by reaffirming the NPP’s commitment to growth and accountability.

“As a party, we are always ready to learn and make sure that when we come back to power, the good things that we did, we will build on. And those mistakes that we made — we will not repeat those mistakes,” he pledged.
