NPP National Chairman aspirant urges Minority to lead party to Reunite, Rebuild and Recapture power in 2028

Addressing the MPs during a closed-door meeting, Afoko introduced what he described as the “3R Agenda” — a political strategy centered on Reuniting, Rebuilding, and Recapturing power for the party. According to him, the agenda is aimed at restoring internal unity, rebuilding the party’s grassroots structures, and repositioning the NPP as a strong force ahead of future elections. Afoko explained that although he had largely remained in the background in recent years, developments within the party had pushed him to become more actively involved again. “For years, I worked quietly behind the scenes in support of the NPP,” he stated. “But recent events make it necessary for me to step forward. If we want to return to winning ways, unity and a shared sense of purpose are essential.” He emphasized that Minority MPs have an important responsibility not only as legislators but also as figures capable of bringing party members together. He cautioned that without rebuilding trust and cohesion within the party, regaining political power would be difficult. Reflecting on his time as National Chairman, Afoko pointed to the NPP’s 2014 presidential primaries as an example of discipline and unity within the party. “We held primaries where every candidate accepted the outcome and nobody contested independently afterward,” he said, adding that leaders such as Sammy Awuku could attest to the level of organization and confidence that existed at the time. Afoko also noted that the party’s support base has weakened over the years, especially during periods in government when competition for positions often creates internal divisions. “Historically, even while in opposition, the NPP often secured stronger vote percentages than the NDC,” he said. “That shows our support base remains strong, but it has declined. The challenge now is how to reconnect with and regain that support.” He explained that the solution lies in the implementation of the 3R Agenda: * Reunite – Heal divisions within the party and rebuild trust among members. * Rebuild – Strengthen party structures from the grassroots to the national level. * Recapture – Reconnect with supporters and present a united and credible alternative to Ghanaians. Afoko urged party faithful to support the vision, stressing that his leadership record demonstrates his commitment to achieving results. “My track record speaks for itself,” he said. “I am focused on results, and with collective effort, we can achieve success together.” He concluded by encouraging the NPP to put aside internal rivalries and concentrate on regaining the confidence of Ghanaians in order to return to power and continue national development.
