We will recover and come back stronger – Abena Osei Asare reflects on NPP’s defeat

In the wake of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) massive loss to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 elections, Abena Osei Asare, the Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, has offered a candid yet hopeful reflection.

Speaking during a thank-you tour in her constituency in the Eastern Region, the MP acknowledged the electorate’s frustration but expressed gratitude for the continued support she has received.

“Ghanaians were disappointed with us and expressed it through their votes,” she admitted her solemn and reflective tone. “But I’m deeply grateful for the goodwill and support I continue to receive from my constituents.”

The 2024 elections marked a significant shift in Ghana’s political landscape, with the NPP losing the presidency and several parliamentary seats to the NDC.

Analysts attribute the party’s defeat to public discontent over economic challenges, governance concerns, and perceived detachment from the everyday struggles of citizens.

These sentiments were reflected at the polls, where voters sent a clear message of dissatisfaction.

For Abena Osei Asare, however, the loss is not a death knell but an opportunity for introspection and renewal.

“The NPP has faced challenges before, and I’m confident we will recover and come back stronger,” she stated, striking a hopeful chord with her audience.
