Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the former NPP MP for Ablekuma West, has thrown her hat into the ring to become the party’s General Secretary.
In a Facebook post onMonday, 20th October, 2025, her birthday, she reflected on the party’s recent struggles, describing it as a period of self-reflection and rebuilding. Despite the challenges, she expressed confidence in the party’s resilience and ability to bounce back stronger.
“A lot of water has passed under the bridge since our stormy face-off with ourselves and our base. We came out bruised, our individual and collective egos battered. We lie not in a good place. However, as our great tradition has demonstrated over the years, we will thrive… Scathed, we refuse to be burnt, and in the unlikely circumstance that we set ourselves in a blazing inferno, enduring the ultimate sacrifice for the New Patriotic Party (NPP: Development in Freedom), we will rise.”
SHowever, she criticized the current government, led by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), for deceiving Ghanaians with false promises.
“This caretaker NDC government is there not because they are preferred, they are there because they lied their way into government amidst lofty promises and caused belief in us to wane. But we will revive it.”
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful called on party faithfuls to unite behind her bid, pledging to lead efforts toward reorganization and renewal.
“On this day of my birth, Patriots, I come before you, the fighter you have always known… Nurtured, proven, and prepared, over the years, to join you on this collective journey to rescue our beloved country.”
“Patriots, join me, let us commit to the struggle, for I know with unity and God on our side, as well as the collective will of the Ghanaian people, we shall overcome.”
