Let’s demonstrate to the Ghanaian people that NPP remains the best vehicle for national transformation — Annoh-Dompreh rallies NPP
The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri and the minority Chief Whip in the 9th Parliament of Ghana, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has charged the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stay united and work hard as the party prepares for the 2028 general elections.
In a statement released on his Facebook page, the MP described the 2025 NPP National Congress held in Accra as a key moment in the party’s effort to strengthen its internal democracy and renew its structures.
He said the congress was an important platform for party members from all parts of the country to come together in unity and discuss ideas for the future of the party.
According to him, delegates gathered in a spirit of patriotism and reaffirmed their commitment to the NPP’s ideals and values.
Mr.Annoh-Dompreh highlighted that several proposals were presented at the congress to amend the party’s constitution.
These proposals, he explained, were meant to make the party more transparent, inclusive, and better prepared for modern political challenges.
According to him, some of the proposed changes included adjusting the party’s regional executive election calendar to match national campaign periods, strengthening the roles of TESCON and diaspora branches, improving coordination between the party’s parliamentary caucus and national leadership, and increasing youth and women’s participation at all leadership levels.
“These forward-looking proposals reflect a party that is not only preparing to win elections but is also committed to internal reform and democratic accountability,” the MP noted.
He urged all party members and supporters to remain focused, engage one another in a positive way, and show Ghanaians that the NPP remains the best option for leading the country toward development.
“As we move toward the 2028 general elections, let us continue to work together and demonstrate to the Ghanaian people that the NPP remains the best vehicle for national transformation,” he added.

NPP Will Surely Return to Power in 2028 — Justin Kodua Declares, Accuses Mahama Government of State-Sponsored Persecution
The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has expressed confidence that the party will return to power in December 2028, promising that the NPP will present a stronger, united front to the Ghanaian people.
Speaking at a press conference at the party’s headquarters, Mr. Kodua assured members and supporters that despite current challenges, the NPP remains the best option for Ghana’s development.
“We have more than three years to preach to Ghanaians our record and what the New Patriotic Party stands for. I can assure you, issues of apathy and reconciliation will all be addressed. Inshallah, come December 7, 2028, the New Patriotic Party will surely come back to power,” he declared confidently.
Mr. Kodua also used the platform to criticize the John Mahama-led government, accusing it of persecuting NPP members through the abuse of state institutions.
According to him, the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has “weaponised” state security agencies and the judiciary to target political opponents, describing the situation as a dangerous threat to Ghana’s democracy.
He said the NPP had on several occasions held demonstrations and press conferences to remind the government that Ghana is a country governed by the rule of law, but such calls have gone unheeded.
“Unfortunately, our calls have fallen on deaf ears, but as a party, we shall not back down on our resolve to fight this injustice,” he said.
Mr. Kodua cited instances where NPP members have allegedly been detained beyond the lawful 48-hour limit and subjected to excessive bail conditions.
He stressed that these actions violate Article 14 of the 1992 Constitution, which guarantees that any person arrested or detained must be brought before a court within 48 hours or released on reasonable terms.
He further noted that the practice also contravenes Section 96 of the Criminal and Other Offences Procedure Act (Act 30) and several Supreme Court decisions, including Martin Kpebu vs. Attorney-General, which emphasize that bail must not be punitive or unreasonable.
“Under President John Mahama’s administration, a person is rather presumed guilty until proven innocent. This level of selective justice and intolerance of dissent is eroding public confidence in Ghana’s democratic and judicial systems,” he lamented.
Mr. Kodua described as alarming the growing “culture of silence,” where citizens are allegedly targeted for expressing dissenting opinions on social media, warning that it poses a threat to the nation’s democratic gains.
He reaffirmed the NPP’s commitment to defending justice and freedom, insisting that the party will not relent in protecting the rights of its members and all Ghanaians.
“The repercussions of this culture of silence are dangerous. It reverses the democratic progress we’ve made as a country,” he warned.
In a more hopeful tone, Mr. Kodua announced that the NPP would soon resume issuing membership cards to strengthen its grassroots organization ahead of the 2028 elections.
“I’m happy to announce that starting next week, we’ll continue with the issuing of membership cards to our members,” he said.
He ended his address by reiterating his belief that the NPP will return to power in 2028, saying Ghanaians have experienced both major political parties and can clearly see the difference.
“Ghanaians have tested both the NPP and the NDC, and I tell you, the difference will be clear. The New Patriotic Party will surely come back to power,” he concluded confidently.
