The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has issued a heartfelt apology to Ghanaians, acknowledging the party’s shortcomings during its time in government. Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV, Mr. Kodua admitted that while the NPP achieved significant progress during its tenure, it fell short in some critical areas.
“As a political party, certainly we did our best, but we couldn’t have gotten everything right,” he said. “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 lost power in the 2024 general elections after two terms, has since embarked on a period of self-reflection and internal reform. Mr. Kodua emphasized that the party is taking full responsibility for its governance record and is committed to learning from its mistakes.
“This period has provided us with an opportunity to assess our governance and prepare for a more effective return,” he explained. “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.”
The apology and pledge come as the NPP works to regain public trust and position itself for future electoral success. Mr. Kodua concluded by reaffirming the party’s commitment to growth, accountability, and serving the nation more effectively if given another chance to govern.
