Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party with TESCON executives
The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has commenced the "Rebuilding Our Base" tour, starting with an engagement with TESCON executives and pro-NPP student leaders at the University of Ghana.
The initiative aims to reconnect the party with its grassroots supporters and address challenges following its recent electoral setbacks.
Speaking to national officers, student leaders, and TESCON executives, Kodua emphasised the need for proactive steps beyond the recommendations of the Oquaye Committee, which was established to analyze the party’s electoral performance.
“We cannot just wait without embarking on a certain journey,” he stated, underscoring the urgency of re-establishing the party’s foundational connections.
Kodua highlighted the party’s rich history, tracing its roots to key political groups such as the UGCC, NLM, UP, PP, and PFP, which laid the groundwork for the NPP's formation and growth.
He stressed that revitalizing the party requires acknowledging and reconnecting with these foundational elements to strengthen the party’s core support base.
“Rebuilding the base means going back to our roots, identifying where we get our votes from, and recognizing the foundation that has made the NPP what it is,” he noted.
The tour reflects a shift towards action, focusing on energizing the party’s grassroots and aligning strategies with the expectations of its core supporters.
Kodua’s engagement with TESCON, the party's tertiary education wing, highlights the NPP's commitment to involving younger members in its rebuilding efforts.
This strategic outreach marks the beginning of a broader initiative aimed at revitalising the NPP’s support network and preparing for future electoral successes.
